Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Councilmembers:      Item #6 on the 4/19 City Council agenda discusses a property at 640 Fairmede Avenue that seeks to subdivide an  ~23,000 sq ft property into 2 lots of 11,000+ sq ft for which I have no issue. Rather, I would like to utilize this to present  a housing creation opportunity for Palo Alto when these situations arise in the future.     In February 2021 640 Fairmede was heard by PTC and the transcript quotes both Commissioners Templeton and Summa  remarking on the potential for a cottage cluster subdivision rather than the 2 larger lots proposed (which are also non‐ conforming since >9,999 sq ft). Commissioner Summa continues noting that the Comprehensive Plan cites wanting to  encourage housing type mixes, like cottage clusters. This notion can be seen in the Housing Work Plan from 2018:   "A key component of a diverse, inclusive community, allow and encourage a mix of housing types and sizes  integrated into neighborhoods, and designed for greater affordability, particularly smaller housing types, such as  studios, co‐housing, cottages, clustered housing, accessory dwelling units and senior housing."    "Consider zoning changes to allow additional cottage clusters, duplexes, and fourplexes where appropriate."  I believe the City of Palo Alto should establish guidelines where large parcels zoned R‐1 could be subdivided into smaller  lots that are less than 6,000 sq ft and utilize driveway easements. Since the City already has the Village Residential code  applicable to RM‐15 and denser zoned land, I would propose enabling certain Village Residential components for R‐1  zoned lots with a lesser density allowances to maintain a harmonious fit within existing R‐1 neighborhoods. This could  provide differentiated housing outcomes on larger lots that yield greater housing unit creation in both primary and ADU  dwellings on lots of 2,500 to 5,999 sq ft.     Thank you for your time and consideration of these observations.     Best Regards  Ted O'Hanlon        ‐‐‐  Ted O'Hanlon   tedohanlon@gmail.com  415.317.5070 mobile/text  CA DRE #01868277    1 Baumb, Nelly From:Betty Howell <anderwell2@gmail.com> Sent:Tuesday, April 13, 2021 1:56 PM To:Council, City Subject:Sustainable/Climate Action Plan CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

We are encouraged by its main finding that there are ways for Palo Alto to transition the majority of its building and transportation energy systems to use clean, electric power over 10 years at a cost of only 5-6% of current energy expenditures. Despite the large upfront costs, the report concludes that by 2033 benefits would match costs and residential and business expenses will decline for the community as a whole. This looks like a good deal when one considers the cost of doing nothing (i.e. business as usual). The 80/30 goal is even more relevant today than when it was adopted in 2016. We have less time and the costs will be greater, but the 80% reduction in local emissions still aligns with the desire to stay below 1.5 to 2 degrees warming. For Palo Alto, meeting the goal really boils down to eliminating the majority of local fossil fuel use in buildings and transportation within ten years. Staff suggests the creation of an ad hoc Council committee to assist staff with climate action planning. We agree and list some recommendations below for how staff should also reorganize to focus more on climate mitigation to achieve the far-reaching, unprecedented and rapid change that is needed. The report paints one “big picture” scenario among many possibilities for reaching 80/30. The overall estimate should be considered a “guestimate” since it reflects the combination of many long-term assumptions about how costs, rates and markets will develop over the next decade. The broad sweep of costs and benefits presented are also not disaggregated into the parts paid and accrued by asset owners themselves and by the City. But as presented, the expenses are not high in general for the City or the public. We believe the City has more leverage over building electrification than transportation. The ability of the City to impact transportation electrification is limited and largely subject to larger trends in mobility in general. In the case of buildings, the City has many levers at hand (billing systems, rates, building codes, permitting, low cost capital) that would facilitate such replacements. For the most part, this fits with the 80/30 imperative that we focus now on electric heat-pump water heaters, heat-pump HVAC, and EV chargers at every opportunity. 1 The decarbonization scenario of the report assumes the single family home sector is completely electrified by 2030. The timing of the switch over is not clear, but this appears to us to be a risky and difficult path to follow. It would make more sense to plan for this at a later stage in the transition. The current reality is that existing fossil fuel devices for the most part are replaced one by one as they fail. The simplest and most feasible approach is to ensure that individual devices are replaced by their electric equivalents, and avoid investments in devices that will likely become stranded assets in the future. We should bear in mind that the electric retrofit costs are a one time investment in building wiring that will allow future end-of-life replacements of electric devices at a lower cost than replacing gas devices. The report also does not clearly show the impact of upstream emissions on the transportation and building sectors. We continue to believe a 20-year timeframe for the GWP (global warming potential) is appropriate for mitigation planning for our community. It gives a more accurate assessment of the global warming impact of our current emissions levels and mitigation efforts. The 20-year timeframe is also generally supported by many scientists, especially given that the 100-year time frame was an arbitrary choice made with little context. See Table 3 below from the CPAU Staff report on upstream emissions (Jan 2021) for the multipliers that could be used for natural gas (2.0X) and gasoline at (1.6X). This is important to get right because it elevates the contribution of the building sector relative to the transportation sector and affects the relative effort put into each sector. Devices installed in buildings also tend to have longer operational lifetimes, which increases the urgency of avoiding continued installation of fossil-fueled devices. 2 1:able 3.. nc;reasie f1rnm 2018 S/CAP emis:siil:ms, iif im:iluding lifecyile e missionsi4 CA.

Naturr II Gas 4.9%, 101% CA EIKtrtldty15. ♦.5%, 11% Recommendations We recommend that the Council reaffirm its commitment to the 80/30 goal and provide renewed oversight emphasis on achieving this goal. Our recommendations include organizational changes, building electrification, and acknowledgement of the impact of upstream emissions. Organization ●Council: Create an ad hoc Climate Committee of Council members to collaborate with the Climate Advisory Group and Climate Mitigation Team described below. The primary focus is on the 80/30 imperative to eliminate most local fossil fuel use by 2030. ●Council: Convene a Climate Advisory Group composed of a small group of advisors drawn from the wider community for technical guidance to help staff and Council develop robust plans and connect to resources in the broader network. Council members should avail themselves of the expertise of this group. ●Staff: Turn the S/CAP Team into The Sustainability Team ●Staff: Create a Climate Mitigation Team composed of leadership and staff that is solely focused on climate mitigation. The goal is to achieve unprecedented, far reaching and rapid action on decarbonizing buildings and transportation. Building Electrification ● Follow through on the reach code related directives of 2019 for all-electric new construction for multifamily, commercial, ADUs and major remodels. ○ Deploy direct installation programs with on-bill financing that make it easy and affordable to replace gas devices end-of-life with electric. This accounts for the needs of low and mid-income citizens. ○ Build a database of existing fossil-fueled devices to proactively drive end-of-life replacement ○ The permitting process should be streamlined to enable thousands of replacements per year. ○ There should be a lower electric rate for EVs and electric devices. ● Once these programs start showing success, ordinances will be needed to require electric-only replacements. This could start earlier in some cases. For example, rooftop HVAC commercial heat pumps are already cost effective. Incorporation of upstream emissions into planning and presentations ● Direct staff to show the 20-year impact of upstream emissions on the official accounts of our local GHG emissions. The main effect is to inform planning efforts and raise the relative importance of buildings compared to transportation based on real-world warming impacts. 3 2 Baumb, Nelly From:susan chamberlain <suschamberlain@gmail.com> Sent:Thursday, April 15, 2021 9:46 AM To:Council, City Subject:S/CAP review and update CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.       Dear Palo Alto City Council Members:  Thank you for making sustainability a priority over the last three years, even during the chaos of the pandemic. Our  community group, 350 Silicon Valley's Palo Alto Climate Team, is an all‐volunteer branch of the international 350.org,  dedicated to protecting Earth's climate and building a future that is just, prosperous, equitable and safe. We appreciate  the opportunity to comment on the proposed S/CAP update.   Climate protection requires urgent investment: scientists acknowledge that they underestimated the pace of climate  change including melting sea ice and the increase in extreme weather events. We have less time to prepare than we  previously thought: climate change is not a problem for future generations, but for ours.   Palo Alto has built a reputation as one of the nation's most environmentally engaged communities. This S/CAP, given  sufficient funding and rigorous benchmarking to achieve our 80x30 goal, represents an important continuation of Palo  Alto's leadership. It's critical that we steadfastly pursue this goal despite current economic challenges.    No doubt, the programs outlined in the S/CAP are going to be a big investment. But we know that inaction will be more  costly. During the pandemic, we've seen how failure to invest in preparedness has tragic consequences and enormous  costs, both human and financial.  Electrification and transportation are the areas in which we can have the biggest impact. Involving the public through  community engagement and education programs will be critical to our success.  Building Electrification  "'~,,~ +~so s.· ILICON ► ~ VALLEY ' p 0 3 Safety, health, and climate protection require a thoughtful and rapid transition from natural gas in our homes and  businesses to clean energy:   Climate. Natural gas is mainly methane, a greenhouse gas that is 80 times more potent than CO2 in the short-term.    Safety. Gas poses a serious fire threat as we experienced in the 2010 San Bruno explosion. Broken gas lines are the largest fire hazard from earthquakes.   Health. When burned, fossil gas creates toxic emissions, including lung-irritants and carcinogens. Children in homes with gas appliances are 40 times more likely to develop asthma.   Maintenance. Gas pipe maintenance costs have tripled since 2009, convincing PG&E to, in principle, phase out gas systems.    Social Equity. As more customers move away from gas, CPAU will have to spread its increased maintenance costs over a smaller customer base. The California Energy Commission projects that consumers could expect to pay more than double for using gas by 2050.   Palo Alto needs to plan now to phase out gas, including end‐of‐life replacement of all gas appliances and systems in  residences and commercial buildings. Simultaneously, CPAU must put in place financing instruments to assist residents,  along a sliding scale, as fossil fuels are phased out. Palo Alto's position as a municipal utility provides flexibility and the  potential for Federal and State grants. Other financing instruments to utilize include:    On-bill financing to electrify existing homes and businesses. This will allow repayment with incremental costs over the lifetime of the appliances.   Bond measures to pay for needed system upgrades: such as improving CPAU's electrical system capacity, adding more solar, decommissioning old gas lines, and assisting low-income households.  Transportation  EVs: More must be done to support the shift to EVs by those with moderate and low incomes, including:   Expansion of EV charging equipment in multi-family units: Low-interest loans should also be offered to owners of apartment buildings to help provide tenant access to chargers.   Rebates: Following the lead of Peninsula Clean Energy we could offer rebates for EV buyers, with even larger grants going to low-income residents.    Expansion of EV charging equipment for commuters: In particular, charger-and-solar roof combos would enable our workforce to charge their cars and reduce the night-time demand for electricity.   Bike and Pedestrian Infrastructure   Create more safe routes for bikes and pedestrians. Bikeable/walkable neighborhoods are a hallmark of Palo Alto and a key to our quality of life. We need to continue to encourage and ensure the safety of walking and cycling.   Continue the Summer Streets/Uplift program. During this pandemic year, many residents have been enjoying delightful sidewalk cafes and streets with restricted auto use. Working with merchants and residents could lead to more opportunities to create safer corridors for human-powered mobility.  Public Transit        Support the Transportation Management Association (TMA): Palo Alto must continue to support the TMA, and offer transit subsidies to low-income employees in the Downtown and Cal Ave commercial districts. This will reduce both traffic and carbon emissions.   4  Reach Out for Expanded Support: Our city should assertively solicit support for expanded service from other mass transit agencies, such as CalTrain and VTA.   Reinstate the shuttle bus: Bring back the free shuttle bus with expanded routes.  Community Engagement  Palo Alto must begin to engage and educate residents about the perniciousness of fossil gas and the dangerous costs of  putting off action. This educational campaign can create understanding and minimize opposition, as well as encourage  residents to become early adopters. The City can partner with non‐profit organizations to offer many creative  educational programs to raise awareness and acceptance of switching to electric vehicles and homes.    Tracking and reporting progress  We recommend that the City regularly report our progress on the 80x30 goal to allow us to iterate and adjust policies  and programs as needed.    We applaud the Council’s commitment to this issue, and we urge you to make the tough calls and take robust action  now. As we gird ourselves for more seasons of devastating wildfires, unbreathable air, and drought‐‐as well as a future  of rising seas that threaten our infrastructure‐‐it is clear that the time to act is now.  While there will always be relevant  competing interests, this is our existential issue. The responsibility rests on all of us. Let’s rise to the challenge, begin our  investment today, and do all we can for a livable planet. The updated S/CAP will be your legacy as councilmembers.     With thanks for all you do,   350 Silicon Valley Palo Alto Climate Team Steering Committee:   Susan Chamberlain, Andrea Gara, Hilary Glann, Debbie Mytels, and Sandra Slater        5 Baumb, Nelly From:Hilary Glann <hglann@gmail.com> Sent:Monday, April 19, 2021 12:44 PM To:Council, City Subject:Revised Community Petition: Support 80x30 Goal With a Strong Sustainability/Carbon Action Plan Importance:High CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  This petition has now has 229 signatures. The petition will all 229 signatures is below:    Dear Palo Alto City Council Members:  We the signatories strongly support Palo Alto’s critical goal of 80% greenhouse gas reductions by the year  2030.    The urgency of this Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) is underscored by the April 5 announcement  by NOAA that the CO2 measurements taken at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii have surpassed 421  parts per million‐‐the highest recorded since measurements began in the1950's. Living in California, our  devastating wildfire seasons, record heat waves, unprecedented drought and dangerous smoke conditions  have convinced us that we have no more buffer. Climate change is here and is affecting all of us now.   Our country is in the midst of another crisis that has been costly and (rightfully) taken most of our focus. But  the pandemic also showed us the importance of preparation and investment in solutions. We will pay a price  at some point; paying for preparedness now is a fraction of the cost of paying for adaptation later.    We urge the Council to adopt the measures needed to stay on track with our action plan goals, including the  following:   Expand electrification of existing homes and businesses, while financially supporting our moderate   and  low‐income residents as they make the shift.   Incentivize purchases of EV’s as well as installation of charging stations at single and multi‐family  residences.    Begin an aggressive campaign to promote our S/CAP goals and educate/inform the   community about the  importance of the issue and our progress.   Fund infrastructure to improve traffic flow, reduce idling time and expand safe bicycle boulevards.   Examine the impact of our current density/zoning on greenhouse gas emissions, and act to   adjust zoning  regulations accordingly.  Over the years, Palo Alto has earned its reputation as one of the nation's most environmentally engaged  communities. Now is not the time to scale back our goals or slow our approach: climate change is happening  faster than originally predicted, and we need to act just as quickly. We urge Council to continue to do the hard  work and make the tough calls that are needed in the face of this crisis. This updated S/CAP will be our legacy.  Let’s make sure it is one we are proud of.   6

Subject: Community Petition: Support 80x30 Goal With a Strong Sustainability/Carbon Action Plan  Importance: High    Dear Palo Alto City Council Members:  We the signatories strongly support Palo Alto’s critical goal of 80% greenhouse gas reductions by the year  2030.    The urgency of this Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) is underscored by the April 5 announcement  by NOAA that the CO2 measurements taken at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii have surpassed 421  parts per million‐‐the highest recorded since measurements began in the1950's. Living in California, our  devastating wildfire seasons, record heat waves, unprecedented drought and dangerous smoke conditions  have convinced us that we have no more buffer. Climate change is here and is affecting all of us now.   Our country is in the midst of another crisis that has been costly and (rightfully) taken most of our focus. But  the pandemic also showed us the importance of preparation and investment in solutions. We will pay a price  at some point; paying for preparedness now is a fraction of the cost of paying for adaptation later.    We urge the Council to adopt the measures needed to stay on track with our action plan goals, including the  following:   Expand electrification of existing homes and businesses, while financially supporting our moderate   and  low‐income residents as they make the shift.   Incentivize purchases of EV’s as well as installation of charging stations at single and multi‐family  residences.    Begin an aggressive campaign to promote our S/CAP goals and educate/inform the   community about the  importance of the issue and our progress.  12  Fund infrastructure to improve traffic flow, reduce idling time and expand safe bicycle boulevards.   Examine the impact of our current density/zoning on greenhouse gas emissions, and act to   adjust zoning  regulations accordingly.  Over the years, Palo Alto has earned its reputation as one of the nation's most environmentally engaged  communities. Now is not the time to scale back our goals or slow our approach: climate change is happening  faster than originally predicted, and we need to act just as quickly. We urge Council to continue to do the hard  work and make the tough calls that are needed in the face of this crisis. This updated S/CAP will be our legacy.  Let’s make sure it is one we are proud of.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear Councilmembers,    As Palo Alto's first Chief Sustainability Officer (2013 through 2018), and the staff lead on the initial S/CAP, I hope you’ll  permit me to offer a few comments for tonight's meeting, even though I am not a resident and no longer have a formal  connection to the city.  I just saw the staff memo this morning, so my comments will be few and brief.     The S/CAP that Council unanimously adopted in 2016 was arguably the most aggressive Climate Action Plan of any US  city at the time. The bar for climate action has risen so rapidly since then that that initial plan is now just table stakes.  It’s still good, it’s still challenging, but the times require much more of us all.    1. The staff report states "The analysis also identifies a number of policies that could be pursued, if legally  feasible, while continuing analysis to identify the remaining 8 percent needed."     Recommendation:    Support staff request to continue that analysis, but with greater urgency. Reaffirm the City’s commitment to  reduce emissions 80% by 2030. Rephrase it to reduce emissions AT LEAST 80%  2030 OR SOONER. Direct staff to  develop, within six months, three scenarios for how that could be done.  2. Electrification and retrofits at scale.     Recommendation:    Direct CPAU to develop and set aggressive goals for a “concierge” service that would provide a one‐phone call,  one stop shop for electrification of space and water heating systems, including pre‐vetted equipment and  contractors, streamlined permitting, and on‐bill financing. (For example, if water heaters have an average life of  about 10 years, it should be possible to replace 90% of the entire city‐wide “fleet” in ten years—especially if the  city applies predictive analytics based on historical permits to identify equipment that is coming due for  replacement.)  3. Mobility    There are many good moves here, including "Allocate funding for on‐demand transit service,” and "Revise employee  parking permit fees to make transit a competitively priced commute mode“ (but why wait til 2022‐2023?)    Recommendations:    Revise employee parking permit fees by next Quarter, in a ways that are revenue neutral for both the City and  the employees.  25  Revise—or eliminate—minimum parking requirement standards by 2022, not 2024; consider parking  _maximum_ requirements for MFR and large commercial properties, as Portland and other cities have pursued.  <https://www.metro.net/projects/tod‐toolkit/parking‐minimums‐and‐maximums/>   Rapidly electrify the City fleet, starting now. Make EVs the default option—not something people  or departments need to request—except where EVs are not yet practical for specific vehicles and duty cycles  4.  Palo Alto has not adopted a Climate Emergency Declaration (as San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley, Oakland,Menlo  Park, Richmond, and nearly 20,000 other cities have done.    Recommendation:    Adopt a Climate Emergency Declaration, and challenge staff, Council and commissions to find ways to move  more quickly—as quickly as possible, within the constraints of statutory requirements (but not the constraints of  “we’ve always done it this way” requirements).   If nothing else, read this sober and shocking piece: “We’re Hurtling Toward Global Suicide: Why we must do  everything differently to ensure the planet’s survival" https://newrepublic.com/article/161575/climate‐change‐ effects‐hurtling‐toward‐global‐suicide  Thank you for your consideration, and for your continued leadership.    Sincerely,  Gil Friend    Gil Philip Friend • Cell: 510‐435‐6346 • Trimtab for Trimtabs™   CEO,  Natural Logic Inc.; Critical Path Capital  Board Director, BluePlanetEnergy; Inquiring Systems, Inc.  Author, The Green Business Field Guide, The Truth About Green Business, The New Bottom Line  Blog • Twitter • LinkedIn • YouTube • AboutMe    "People are hungry for meaningful conversations that move worlds.    Shall we have one?”    Our next webinar:   Embracing VUCA*: Living Between Worlds, with Grace, Dignity, and Power        26 Baumb, Nelly From:David Page <dalpage5@gmail.com> Sent:Monday, April 19, 2021 8:12 AM To:Council, City Subject:S/CAP CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

I know we are proud to live in a city that takes environmental issues seriously and as the urgent crisis they are, and I am writing to encourage you to take even more important actions to further decrease our carbon emissions and help our climate. We can already see the impacts of climate change and, unless steps are taken, they will worsen and affect the lives of my generation for years to come. Our health in Palo Alto and the larger Bay Area is already threatened by the effects of climate change. Every year in California, I get more accustomed to heatwaves, power outages, reports of wildfires, warnings to stay inside because the air is unsafe to breathe, and reminders to conserve water because of the never-ending droughts. All of these issues are only the beginnings of the consequences that young people will bear without wholehearted commitment to changing the ways we live. Please consider all actions you could take in sectors such as transportation and housing in order to reach our goals in drastically decreasing carbon emissions and improving our quality of life.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear Palo Alto City Council Members:  We the signatories strongly support Palo Alto’s critical goal of 80% greenhouse gas reductions by the year  2030.    The urgency of this Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) is underscored by the April 5 announcement  by NOAA that the CO2 measurements taken at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii have surpassed 421  parts per million‐‐the highest recorded since measurements began in the1950's. Living in California, our  devastating wildfire seasons, record heat waves, unprecedented drought and dangerous smoke conditions  have convinced us that we have no more buffer. Climate change is here and is affecting all of us now.   Our country is in the midst of another crisis that has been costly and (rightfully) taken most of our focus. But  the pandemic also showed us the importance of preparation and investment in solutions. We will pay a price  at some point; paying for preparedness now is a fraction of the cost of paying for adaptation later.    We urge the Council to adopt the measures needed to stay on track with our action plan goals, including the  following:   Expand electrification of existing homes and businesses, while financially supporting our moderate   and  low‐income residents as they make the shift.   Incentivize purchases of EV’s as well as installation of charging stations at single and multi‐family  residences.    Begin an aggressive campaign to promote our S/CAP goals and educate/inform the   community about the  importance of the issue and our progress.   Fund infrastructure to improve traffic flow, reduce idling time and expand safe bicycle boulevards.   Examine the impact of our current density/zoning on greenhouse gas emissions, and act to   adjust zoning  regulations accordingly.  Over the years, Palo Alto has earned its reputation as one of the nation's most environmentally engaged  communities. Now is not the time to scale back our goals or slow our approach: climate change is happening  faster than originally predicted, and we need to act just as quickly. We urge Council to continue to do the hard  work and make the tough calls that are needed in the face of this crisis. This updated S/CAP will be our legacy.  Let’s make sure it is one we are proud of.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Agenda Item: #7: Review of S/CAP 4/19/21 April 15, 2021 Dear Mayor DuBois and Palo Alto City Council Members, Your guidance on the next steps for the Sustainability/Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) are critical. The urgency of addressing climate destruction is increasingly apparent as documented by innumerable academic and scientific reports and ongoing environmental conditions. Many cities and counties are seriously addressing transportation, air quality, public health, land use and equity issues. The California Air Resources Board is charged with “…protecting the public from the harmful effects of air pollution and developing programs and actions to fight climate change.” We continue to experience enduring pandemic, economic challenges, social tensions related to inequities, cybersecurity, growing needs for crisis intervention, and many climate change impacts illustrated by fires, dangerous air pollution, and drought (to name a few). All experts recognize that these events have short and long-term impacts. It is clear that well-crafted S/CAP goals are not sufficient: it is critical to have measurable action items in order to assess our progress and to refine our policies and practices. Over the years, I have communicated several suggestions for improving the S/CAP which I hope you will seriously consider. I support and endorse the statements and recommendations from 350SV Palo Alto Climate Team about the S/CAP. I have the following additional comments by category: Expand electrification of existing and new homes and businesses through financial programs and incentives to enable moderate and low-income residents manage the shifts to electrification. To enhance the benefits of electrification, these regulations and requirement should also apply to new and remodeled public sector buildings and infrastructure. Incentivize purchases of Electric Vehicles improving and expanding charging stations not only for single-family and multi-family units but other group care settings, as appropriate. Enlist the support of neighborhood associations. Additionally, partnerships with the County and State to support more EV purchases should be expanded. Electric public sector vehicles should also be standard practice. Communicate more clearly and effectively about S/CAP. Be more pro-active and intentional in promoting, through various means, clear messaging about the S/CAP goals and actions needed to achieve these outcomes. A key element would be to better utilize community members with expertise who have keen insight and topic knowledge regarding data and performance measures and outcomes.Their expertise can support City staff to work effectively to secure accomplishments. Environmental and public health professionals can also inform the work. To reduce green house gas emissions, fund more options to improve mobility, enhance public transit and shuttles, expand TDM programs for employers, and build out the bicycle and pedestrian plan. Recognize that land use, density, zoning, compact in-fill housing and the proximity of housing to jobs are critical to a healthier environment and the reduction of green house gas emissions. This knowledge should inform your decisio -making and votes. At a minimum, use TransForm’s Green TRIP calculator to quantify trip reductions and promote the use of alternative mobility options to meet sustainability goals. This model and formula have been codified in other Peninsula communities. These methodologies examine and document the environmental impacts of proposed projects. It would be a more standardized approach. My 4/13/20 letter to you outlines other issues in greater detail. 35 As a community member, I urge you to aggressively fund a strong S/CAP plan in order to enable the City to achieve its 80 x 30 goal. The AECOM report is comprehensive and notes the net costs of achieving this critical goal is about $10 million dollars per year. This level of support is strategic; it provides data and agency to define our future. The urgency of this work is not debatable. Be bold in your actions. The City should be making informed and important decisions which improve and create a more sustainable and healthy future for all of us.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear Mayor, Vice Mayor and Council, As you know. Palo Alto Utilities has had at least 3 extended outages THIS month and we're only half-way through April. Notifications of service restoration and other communications have been practically non-existent leaving people literally in the dark! People went for hours without food, heat and even the ability to run electric stair lifts to get 98-year-old parents up to their beds while having no idea when service would be restored. Traffic lights failed. Food spoiled during outages, causing additional financial hardships. Were apologies sent, refunds offered for outages and food spoilage? Of course not. Instead, our personal email and NextDoor were filled with warnings about non-functioning traffic lights and queries about who had power and who didn't -- because they'd heard nothing from CPAU! This is intolerable given the increasing frequency of outages and especially given CPAU's $20,000,000 in annual "overcharges"to fund the city's General Fund. For that amount of money, CPAU should at least provide decent outreach services to its captive customers! Didn't we just hear the City Manager crow about the wonders of the City's new web site?? Instead, the City Attorney plans to waste more of OUR money appealing the result of the Miriam Green lawsuit entitling us to refunds for this illegal and deceptive practice.   37 CPAU at one point defended its poor outreach saying, "We had to respond to 7,000 customers and couldn't respond to that many." That being the case, how can you possibly think CPAU can provide customer service to the NEW customers for the proposed Fiber-to-the-Home and compete with established players that HAVE workable customer service without wasting more of OUR money?  Before you direct us to give up our RELIABLE gas appliances and furnaces and buy electric cars -- both SIGNIFICANT expenses when gas is three times cheaper than electric -- please solicit community input the way Menlo Park is doing as reported by the Palo Alto Daily Post. If you really want to cut greenhouse gasses, stop building offices that increase the number of commuters who drain our limited resources! Fix the traffic light timing already so cars aren't constantly idling when there's no traffic!

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Our climate needs to be a top priority of the council.      Here are main policy areas to achieve biggest reductions in greenhouse gases(all from the Green Team at my school): 1. Transportation    Incentivize EV purchases    Increase charging infrastructure (public  and private)    Increase bikeable/walkable options    Increase public transit options   2. Electrification of homes      Incentivize replacement of gas appliances with electric when they are at end of life     Retrofit existing homes     Retrofit existing commercial buildings     Retrofit all city owned buildings     Stipulate that all new commercial buildings must be all-electric 4  (Palo Alto has already passed a “reach code” that all new homes must be electric.)   3. Land use: (more efficient land use lowers the carbon footprint by reducing vehicle miles traveled.)      Remove some R-1 (single family) zoning to allow for:  o o o more density near public transit o o o o more affordable housing for low and middle income families o  4. Natural environment     Plant more trees to sequester carbon  5 Baumb, Nelly From:Matt B <mbuch2938@gmail.com> Sent:Sunday, April 18, 2021 2:49 PM To:Council, City Subject:80/30 Climate Action Plan CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.    April 14th, 2021 Dear City Council,      As the CEO of Mollie Stone’s Markets, I am writing in regard to the closure of California Avenue and ask that you  consider the perspective of our family‐owned grocery store while making your decision on whether to extend the  closure of this street. With California Avenue closed, we saw sales drop by approximately 20%, but sales returned to  normal during the winter’s shut‐down when the street was re‐opened. Now that the street is closed again, we see the  same pattern of reduced sales.      Many in the media will cite increased profits for grocery stores during this time, but they fail to consider limits on  customer capacity and the additional operating costs that stores like ours face during the pandemic. We have invested  heavily in our stores in an effort to protect our customers and employees. We have installed plexiglass barriers on our  check stands and supply gloves, masks, face shields, hand sanitizer, and disinfectants, the price of which have all  increased since last March. We have hired staff to conduct daily screenings of our employees for COVID‐19 symptoms,  disinfect grocery carts and hand baskets, and ensure that we are abiding by the requirement to limit the number of  customers in our stores. Additionally, we have helped our employees find vaccine appointments, and all employees that  were willing and able to be vaccinated have done so.     I would ask the council to consider not extending the closure of California Avenue. Vaccine eligibility will expand to all  Californians over the age of 16 on April 15th. Currently, the street will re‐open on May 31st at which time hundreds of  thousands of additional Californians* will have received their vaccine and a greater proportion of the population will feel  safe dining out. However, if our business were to experience the current level of reduced sales until September, I am  afraid that we may be forced to evaluate the operations at this store, which might include operating at a reduced  capacity, laying off employees, or in the worst‐case scenario, possibly closing the store. Taking the above into  consideration, I ask that the street closure is not extended past the May 31st date.      We have done our very best to protect our employees as well as the communities we serve during this public health  crisis. I ask that you please consider the additional operating costs that retailers are facing at this time. We take pride in  the service that we provide to our community, and in our ability to respond to the challenges of this pandemic.     Sincerely,  Mike Stone, CEO  (415) 716‐0178  mike.mollie@gmail.com     *Data from the Santa Clara County vaccine dashboard. SCC is currently vaccinating around 20,000 people every day.  https://www.sccgov.org/sites/covid19/Pages/dashboard‐vaccine‐CAIR2.aspx  5TO MARKETS 2         Disclaimer The information contained in this communication from the sender is confidential.

cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  ________________________________    Dear Council Members and City Manager,    I am writing in regard to item #8 on this evening Council meeting  agenda which pertains to the possible continuation of the closure of  California Ave.    I hope that you will decide not to approve the permanent closure of  California Ave. to street traffic.  If necessary to continue the closure  through the summer, I hope you will seek out non‐restaurant  businesses to find some way to assist them through these last few  months.     Although I know that the closure has been helpful to restaurants during  the Covid restriction period and that many people enjoy going to the  restaurants, there are significant downsides.  In particular, the non‐ restaurant businesses suffer, and patrons of these other businesses are  significantly inconvenienced.  A permanent closure may result in the  closure of these other businesses, which would be a detriment to the  business environment and all‐day vitality of the street.  As I walk around  that area during the day, it is basically deserted except during meal  times.  Contrast this with downtown Los Altos or even Menlo Park  where the streets have been closed only in certain places.    In particular, I have read the letter from executives of Mollie Stone’s  grocery store that spells out the negative effects the closure has had on  its business.  Losing Mollie Stone, an ‘anchor tenant’ of the Cal Ave area,  12 and a major benefit to residents of Evergreen Park, Old Palo Alto,  Mayfield, and College Terrace, would be a very large loss.  Without  Mollie Stone — which is much more of a full‐service grocery than the  newly opened specialty market on El Camino (which has much less  parking) — residents would be forced to drive to Piazza’s or Safeway in  midtown or to Safeway in Menlo Park.  The result would be increased  traffic all the way around.    The idea that street closure increases foot traffic which will then benefit  non‐restaurant businesses does not appear to be true for Cal Ave, or  even perhaps University Ave.  For example, I left an early morning  dentist appointment on University east of the street closure, and  wanted to stop at the downtown Starbucks on my way home.  But,  where on University is Starbucks, and where would I park to be within  easy walking distance of it?  There are no markers on the back sides of  businesses to say where they are, no indicators in any of the parking  lots, etc.  Without the street closure, particularly at that hour of the  morning, I would have simply drive down University until I spotted the  store, or another coffee or cafe, and then found the closest parking  space.  Instead, I just drove home.  Part of the reason for so little  additional business may be that the City has done very little if anything  to assist non‐restaurant businesses that depend on drive‐by traffic to be  noticed and patronized. Part of it, however, may be due to the nature of  a restaurant destination — people go there to eat, and then leave.    I would also ask you to remember that one of the major reasons given  for the approval of a housing development for the disabled in this area  was the presence of a grocery store.  Indeed, when any housing is  approved in the Cal Ave area, such local benefits as a grocery store and  the train station are always mentioned as amenities that make it a great  place for such developments.    If the street is closed, then it will be the City’s responsibility to provide  assistance to non‐restaurant businesses.  This might include advertising  for them, including a sign at the opening of the street listing the various  businesses there (similar to the signs at Town and Country listing the  tenants), and a re‐modeling of the back sides of the stores to denote  the names of the stores, and perhaps even entrances off the parking  lots.  There would also need to be signage at the parking lots and  13 garages to help people become aware of the presence and location of  the businesses.    I do not object to the creation of parklets that do not require the street  closure, i.e., operating space that uses the sidewalks and/or some of the  parking spaces.  You can see this type of parklet in Menlo Park along  Santa Cruz Ave., some of which have been therefor many years.  They  can be attractive and not require a street closure.    Whatever increased space is devoted to property owners along either  California Ave or University Avenue, it is clear that the City cannot just  give this space away.  Property owners will be charging increased rents  for the increased space, and it would be a gross mismanagement of  public space to allow the transfer of this property to private businesses  for free.  Even a one‐time “purchase price” would be insufficient since  the value of the space will undoubtedly grow over time.  Instead,  perhaps some rental agreement could be devised.    Let us be clear that allowing restaurants and other retailers to operate  on what is now public space will not be a benefit to them.  Instead, it  will be a benefit to the property owners who will be able to charge  increased rents for the increased operating space.  Covid restrictions  will not last forever.    Finally, whatever decision is reached, I hope that you will require careful  planning by the City for the increased car traffic that will result from the  street closure and the promotion of the area as a “destination”.  A  traffic plan that will keep the traffic within the commercial street area  and avoid overflow to adjacent residential areas is critically important.    Thank you for your consideration.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  To all of our distinguished members of the City Council,    I have owned and operated two cafes in downtown Palo Alto for  the last 17 years and believe that now more than ever, we need  support from all of you to be able to rebound from the  devastating effects of the pandemic.  Although there is new hope  with the vaccines and reduction in new Covid cases, the negative  effects on business and particularly restaurants, is not going to be  easy to overcome.    As I have said in numerous Monday meetings with Ed Shikada and  Kara Apple, customer behavior has changed and will take a long  time to go back to "normal".  While people still continue to be  concerned about catching the virus, even having been vaccinated,  many prefer to dine outdoors even though we are now allowed to  have 50% indoor dining.  Furthermore, the absence of office  workers has had a seriously detrimental effect on sales, and their  return is still unknown.      We urgently need for the City Council to support the extension of  Street Closures at least through summer and hopefully through  the end of 2021.  Additionally, we need the City Council to  support the idea of making Parklets Permanent in Palo Alto.  All of  28 us who built Parklets, invested enormous amounts of money  which will take a long time to recuperate through sales.  The  simplest parklet, like the one we built at Coupa Cafe costs  $15,000, with just a wood floor and surrounding iron  gating.  These Parklets allow customers to enjoy more outdoor  seating and provide a positive environment to enjoy downtown,  while Street Closures bring a feeling of community urban life.     The feeling that the restaurants created on Ramona Street with  the Street Closure has been very well received and at the same  time, has provided a life line for all of us struggling to  survive.  Please consider joining us in the goal of "staying in  business" and a return to stability which we all endeavor to  achieve.    I hope you will all vote for making Parklets Permanent and  keeping the street closures through the end of this year.    Thank you,  Nancy Coupal  President, Coupa Cafe  29 Baumb, Nelly From:Soroush Kaboli <soroush@kaboli.com> Sent:Sunday, April 18, 2021 6:11 PM Cc:Council, City Subject:Re: I'm Voting to keep University Ave Closed CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be  cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  ________________________________    Palo Alto City Council: I enjoy safely dining outdoors on University and  California Avenues with the street closed from traffic.    Please count my vote for city street CLOSED through the summer for a  safe, socially distanced experience.    Thank you,  Soroush Kaboli  2042 Barbara Dr  Palo Alto    Regards,    Soroush Kaboli  tel:  650‐325‐7891  fax: 650‐325‐7345  cel: 415‐810‐2561  DRE# 00855753    The information contained in this communication is confidential, and  may be legally privileged.  It is intended only for the use of the  addressee(s).  Unauthorized use, disclosure, distribution, copying, or any action taken  or omitted to be taken in reliance on this communication or any part  thereof is strictly prohibited and may be unlawful.  If you have received  30 this communication in error, please notify the sender immediately and  destroy this entire communication and all copies thereof.    31 Baumb, Nelly From:Pamela Riddle <pcoganriddle@gmail.com> Sent:Sunday, April 18, 2021 6:10 PM To:Council, City Subject:I'm Voting to keep University Ave Closed CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be  cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  ________________________________    Palo Alto City Council: I enjoy safely dining outdoors on University Ave  with the street closed from traffic. Please count my vote for city street  CLOSED through the summer for a safe, socially distanced experience.      Sent from my iPhone  32 Baumb, Nelly From:Alan Figot <figot.alan@gmail.com> Sent:Sunday, April 18, 2021 6:09 PM To:Council, City Subject:I'm Voting to Keep Parklets All Year Round CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear Mayor DuBois and Palo Alto City Council Members,      Thank you for making our business districts a priority during this pandemic by implementing and extending the Uplift Local program. This program has made it possible for many small businesses and their employees to recuperate from financial losses related to COVID-19. The closure of University Avenue and California Avenue to vehicles have allowed for restaurants and retail to operate safely under new social distancing guidelines.      The street closures have made it possible for many of us to enjoy restaurant meals and some semblance of normalcy in a difficult year. The safety of wide pedestrian thoroughfares, socially distanced tables, and live music outdoors have improved the quality of life in Palo Alto in immeasurable ways. This provides creative opportunities for commercial, social, and artistic expression.      The City Council must re-evaluate this program by May 31st. Many small businesses have made financial and operational adjustments to remain open safely during COVID-19.     Please extend this program in order to ensure that those investments continue to preserve the vibrancy of our downtowns. The financial impacts of COVID-19 have had serious economic consequences that have not yet been fully realized by our 18 community. By changing this program now, we could negatively impact our small businesses and their employees.   As you are well aware, Palo Alto Forward encouraged the adoption of this program at the early stages of the pandemic and economic distress. It remains an important and needed program. One improvement we would like to see is better bike access on University Avenue.

During discussions in XCAP meetings and in their report, facts and opinions about the Partial Underpass were presented that were based on the AECOM design. This design received less attention than other alternatives due to budget and time constraints. Many issues were raised that AECOM explained could only be resolved during the next phase of design work; work that could not happen if the project was not approved. In short, incomplete and inaccurate assessments of the proposal were used to make a decision about whether or not to proceed. Correcting these assessments could only occur if the project were to proceed. A conundrum. Concerns about the design included the following: Visual aesthetics Caltrain encroachments Property takings Construction impacts and delays Some or all of these were factors in the XCAP decision to prefer closing the intersection. However, no definitive statement can be made on any of these because the design has not progressed far enough to allow an accurate evaluation of any of these to be completed. At this point, any opinion on the extent or significance of these issues involves a lot of speculation. To get a more complete assessment of the project, additional design work should focus on three issues: a. Reduce the scale of the design b. Give aesthetics more priority c. Apply some creativity in construction techniques Each of these will be discussed in turn. Reducing the scale of the Partial Underpass The underpass is overkill for the city and neighborhood in which it is located. The most pertinent requirement is to allow for school buses to be able to safely navigate the underpass. With that in mind, there are changes that can reduce the size of the underpass, such as: 1. Reduce the width of Churchill underneath Caltrain There are many significant benefits of reducing the width of the Churchill underpass: a. reduce the visual impact of the intersection. b. shorten the bridge span, which may allow for a single span eliminating the central support pillars. c. a shortened bridge span also may permit a thinner bridge deck which would permit a shallower underpass. d. a shallower underpass will reduce the road grades on Alma and Churchill. One way to reduce the width of Churchill is to remove the right turn pocket from Churchill to Alma southbound. The pocket in the AECOM design is smaller than the current right turn pocket, so it's contribution to traffic flow is minor. Since the traffic light at Alma will only control the southbound lane of Alma, there are opportunities to adjust signal timing to prioritize the main traffic patterns in the morning and evening. Given that there will be no interruptions for pedestrian & bike traffic or for Caltrain, a single lane should be able to handle the traffic well. This change has the following advantages: a. assuage concerns about induced traffic on Churchill b. reduce the width of underpass thereby reducing the span for the rail bridge which may permit a thinner bridge which will permit a shallower underpass c. reduce the visual impact of the underpass d. provides more space between Mariposa and the pedestrian/bike bridge over Churchill 2. Optimize lane shoulder widths There is a stated desire on AECOM's part to include 8 foot shoulders, because this is standard. But no such shoulders exist on Alma, or on any of the other underpasses: University, Embarcadero, or Oregon Expressway. Certainly there is a need to improve safety, but those other underpasses are hardly death traps. Surely some compromise is possible. If the lane and shoulder widths can be optimized, encroachments can be reduced. This will also contribute to reducing the width of Churchill, which has the many positive consequences mentioned above. 3. Investigate raising the rails a bit to further reduce underpass depth. This is a more attractive suggestion if the construction requires a shoofly (more on that below.) Reducing the depth of the underpass reduces the slope of the streets, which would be good. Improve the aesthetics of the design Someone with an architect's or urban planner's eye should be involved in the design. There's no reason a residential road intersection must look like a freeway. 1. Explore alternative bridge designs If the bridge span can be reduced (by reducing the width of Churchill), alternate bridge designs become more feasible. A thinner bridge deck can contribute to a reduction in the depth of the underpass which will reduce the slopes of the streets. AECOM favors a concrete bridge, but metal bridge design is well understood and, as the bridge over San Francisquito Creek demonstrates, can last 100 years or more. A metal bridge also presents opportunities for creative bridge design. There are many attractive rail bridges in the world. Surely a designer can be found to design one for Palo Alto. Civil infrastructure need not be merely utilitarian in appearance. 2. Don't assume roads and bridges must be industrial in appearance The current design has too much visible concrete. Decorative elements are needed. The retaining wall along Alma is an opportunity for some creativity. Someone remarked that no one will visit Palo Alto to look at our grade separations. Why not? There are many civil engineering projects that attract appreciation. Don't assume that something appealing and innovative is not possible. Reducing construction impacts and delays It may take a couple of years to construct the underpass. The construction should be arranged to minimize impact on the community. Avoiding the need for a shoofly is important. Some ideas follow: 1. Consider alternate methods of bridge construction. AECOM looked at the jack box method and found it unlikely to simplify construction. In situ construction (such as the method from Art Engineering) should also be evaluated. Other techniques should be investigated. Compare the construction of concrete and steel bridges for their impact on disruption and cost. 2. Caltrain may require the use of a shoofly. This will greatly increase the disruption, cost, and length of the project. Caltrain may want to dictate construction methods, despite these impacts on the city. City staff and elected officials will need to be prepared to push back. In conclusion There are many other suggestions for design changes that will improve the underpass. These have not been adequately considered. The additional time and budget will not be overly burdensome and the potential benefits could be large. When faced with difficult problems with no clearly superior solution, what's needed is to get more involvement. The Partial Underpass proposal was motivated by the lack of reasonable alternatives for Churchill. What was needed was a novel solution that provided different tradeoffs and advantages. The same is true for Meadow and Charleston (apparently). Palo Alto should engage a wider group of people. Not just those who are advocates for their neighborhoods, but those who can bring a problem solving attitude and a willingness to search for solutions to problems. There's a lot of creativity in the world. Why not take advantage of it? The Partial Underpass may, in the end, prove to be too expensive, unfeasible, or objectionable. That can only be determined with further work on the design. Work that will address the uncertainties that now prevent truly informed decisions. I believe, in the end, that a design can be produced that will address most concerns and permit a informed evaluation of alternatives for Churchill.

hangtag on the mirror lowers visibility which increases the chances of an accident and also opens up the possibility of  being pulled over by the police.    The option of a permit sticker, which can be affixed to the outside of the car or in the lower portion of the window,  eliminates these possibilities.    The notice that came with my permits does give the option of placing the tag on the dashboard.  I did that for one of our  cars and it seems to work well.  On another one of our cars, the permit slides all the way down and is no longer visible,  so that is not an option.    Once again, it would eliminate many problems, if the city and the vendor would user test the program in its entirety  prior to releasing it to the public.  Asking people to hang something on their mirror, which is illegal to have while driving,  doesn't sound like a good solution for a permanent fixture that is needed every day.  At a minimum, an affixed sticker  should be an option.  Some residents might not want a sticker.  For them, they have the option to use a  hangtag.  Hangtags are great since they can be moved from car to car.  But, if I don't want to move a tag, then a sticker  seems logical.    Hopefully, we can get this issue remedied.    Keith

I said I couldn’t be the only person who has had a problem and she said actually I was. I guess she isn’t comparing notes with anyone else taking calls complaining about the system not working as advertised"     "I’ve had 3 phone calls with Duncan and several emails with Palo Alto Parking. The new online system is a nightmare. What they say is not what what works . They say you only have to supply proof of registration for one vehicle to get all your permits but 2 of my permits were denied because I didn’t provide registration for the other 2. They say you can purchase up to 6 per residence and that you can use any of your existing registered cars for you additional annual Guest hangtags but there is no option for “annual guest hangtag” and if you try to use one of your existing cars for an additional hangtag (as the nice person from Duncan Solutions told me I should do) you get an error that you can only have one permit per vehicle. I actually went through the whole process with a Duncan employee who was supposed to make it happen- she logged on to my account and she finally realized I was right, you can’t get additional hangtags without a new license number and you can’t get a hangtag for your additional vehicles unless you supply registration cards for each one. Two days into this fiasco, they are contacting their IT department to fix it. What a mess."     "I, too, had to call and email because I found the process very confusing. I mentioned on the phone to Dwight (I think) that some senior citizens might not be able to figure it out at all!"     Mark Hur has told me to direct all issues to Duncan Solutions. However, how will the city know how the program is working for its residents if we don't inform the city of the issues?     Also, the website requires you to submit a car registration with your permit order. Why? All that is required to purchase a parking permit under the RPP guidelines is that you are a resident within the boundary of the program. What if I do not own a car, but want to buy a permit to use for guests, or when I rent a car? That requirement needs to be eliminated from the system.      We should also be able to purchase hangtags without supplying any vehicle information, including make, model, etc... Past system was much more intuitive and straightforward. Current system needs to be reworked by Duncan Solutions. I'm curious if anyone at the city sat down with Duncan and tried to order permits. Ideally, someone without any background knowledge of the parking program.  8    I hope the process is modified for simplicity.      Keith

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear City Council,    I live in Barron Park and I am a professor of civil and environmental engineering at UC Berkeley. I want to echo so many previous letter writers in emphasizing the importance of meeting our 80 by 30 goal.     Please make bold changes to make it easy for Palo Alto residents to lead the way for our city to reach 80 x 30. I’m confident we can achieve 80x30 if we all work together, so let’s go for the ambitious plans and make it happen! If we don’t take the lead, who will? The sooner these ideas can be implemented, the less work we will have to do - because every year delayed makes it even harder to reduce carbon emissions fast enough.*    The S/CAP calls for electrification of new buildings which is fantastic, and there is also a huge opportunity in remodeling existing homes in Palo Alto. I think Palo Alto should take the lead in making it easier for residents to retrofit their homes with all electric appliances. Two years ago we were faced with major repairs to our home, and we took the opportunity to convert our home to 100% electric. We faced several challenges during our retrofit which Palo Alto City Council could make much easier for others who want to electrify. Several contractors literally charged us a premium for work done in Palo Alto because of all the extra steps required by the city. You can make permitting easier and provide financial incentives for others to retrofit their homes to electric.  This should include creating incentives for low-income residents to go all-electric too, such as on-bill financing. You can provide additional incentives and support for homeowners to get an EV, as an opportunity for local power storage which can help with grid resiliency too.    Energy use in buildings accounts for 25% of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions so there’s a lot of room to take action here. Natural gas is still a large contributor to our city’s emissions. Please make it easier for existing homes to be converted to all electric - it will take time to convert all of the buildings in Palo Alto, so we need to start with these new policies now, not in a few years.     The S/CAP report is thorough and helpful - and the time has come to now take bold ACTION!     Thank you,  Tina      *See this figure shared by Greta Thunberg which shows how much more drastic the cuts need to be for every year of delay in getting started in reducing emissions.

The mayor will also ask for the city to make an official apology for the terrible treatment by some residents of Chinese-Americans during its early years. ANTIOCH — Acknowledging the wrongs Antioch’s early residents inflicted against Chinese-Americans, Mayor Lamar Thorpe on Wednesday apologized for that and introduced a series of proposals to make amends. “We’re in the middle of a national awakening that has been spun out of anti-Asian American and Pacific Islander hate,” Thorpe said in downtown Waldie Plaza, where Antioch’s Chinatown once stood. “Every day, it seems like all of us are witnesses to some of the most jarring headlines on social media and local and national television news outlets and the newspapers.” As example, Thorpe pointed to the recent violent attack and robbery of two older Asian women at County Square Market, the city’s only Asian grocery. Police are still investigating that incident to determine whether it was a hate crime, he said. “I’m glad I learned a lot about Antioch’s troubled history when I first moved here from folks like former Mayor Don Freitas,” Thorpe said. “These histories help inform who we are today and avoid mistakes of the past.” The City Council on Tuesday adopted a proclamation Thorpe introduced condemning the current violence and hate against the Asian-American and Pacific 19 Islander community. He signed the proclamation and presented it the next day to Conra Costa County’s only Asian-American elected official, Andy Li, president of the Contra Costa Community College District. In accepting the resolution, Li thanked the Antioch community and noted that partly because “of the pandemic and hate speech from the former president, there has been a surge of crimes” against Asians. Li also cited Chinese-American contributions to the region, such as building the railroad and San Joaquin/Sacramento Delta levees in the 1860s and 1870s. “It was a great contribution to the community and they were treated badly,” he said, referring to the 1863 Chinese Exclusion Act that prohibited the immigration of Chinese laborers after they had helped build the communities. 20 When the Palace Hotel was torn down in 1926, workers found secret tunnels underground that Chinese residents use to commute after sunset. Chinese residents were not allowed to be on the street after dark. (Antioch Historical Society & Museum) To remember the past, the mayor said he wants to the city to designate a Chinatown historic district with historical markers and fund a permanent exhibit at the Antioch 21 Historical Museum, as well as a community mural. He also will ask the city to officially apologize for the terrorizing of Chinese immigrants in its early years, Thorpe said. Very little was recorded about the city’s historic Chinese community, whose population was estimated to number in the hundreds in the late 1800s. A section of Antioch — one of the state’s oldest communities — was called Chinatown and included Chinese-American homes and businesses on both sides of Second Street and on First Street from G to I streets. Chinese immigrants helped build the levees and railroads and worked in the coal mines and on farms for low wages, disliked by non-Asians who thought they were taking away their jobs. In the city’s early days, people of Chinese descent were banned from walking Antioch’s streets after sunset, so they built underground tunnels to move around and socialize. In 1876 an angry white mob forced the Chinese-Americans from Antioch and later burned down its Chinatown, according to early newspaper accounts. Some eventually would return to do business and work in the canneries. “Under this building right here, there are tunnels where we marginalized our Chinese brothers and sisters,” Thorpe said. “During the 19th century, anti-Chinese sentiment resulted in conflict and extremely restrictive regulations and norms concerning where Asian-Americans could live and in which occupations they could work, which is often enforced by violence.” Dwayne Eubanks, president of the Antioch Historical Society, said he would work toward efforts to remember the city’s early Chinese-American residents. “History matters,” he said. “We at the Historical Society are excited because this day is the dawning of a new era for people.” As Antioch approaches its sesquicentennial year, the city and Historical Society are planning to create a permanent program celebrating China’s history “with exhibits that allow us to examine our past, appreciate the patience, endurance and grace of the Chinese and Asian American Pacific Islander people,” Eubanks said. Joy Motts of the Rivertown Preservation Society also applauded the efforts to remember “Chinese and Asian residents who were so instrumental in building our community and communities of the Bay Area in the state of California.” 22 The Joaquin Murietta Chapter 15 of the E Clampus Vitus installed a plaque remembering the Chinese contributions and the old tunnels that once ran underground in Antioch in 2006. The plaque has since disappeared. “Some may say that what happened in the past has no effect on who we are today,” she said. “We believe this to be incorrect. And that, to the contrary, to not acknowledge the wrongs or intolerances of yesterday can only make it more plausible that they happen again.” “We’re not born hateful; hate is passed down through generations,” Councilwoman Tamisha Torres Walker added. “And because Antioch has chosen to rise from the ashes of a horrible past into a more inclusive future, we stand here before you all today, united against racial hate,” she said. “We say that opportunity lives here, and opportunity can only live here when we, as residents, fight just as hard for belonging as we have to get beyond our past and to move forward in a future where we are not defined by our past, but we acknowledge our past.” 23 Baumb, Nelly From:Phyllis Kayten <pjkayten@gmail.com> Sent:Wednesday, April 14, 2021 6:18 PM To:Council, City Subject:New Residential Preferential Parking Program permit ordering CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

the other day there that "the Astrazeneca vaccine is off the table".  Big news, if true. AZN was going to submit the results  of the 30,000 participant trial, completed recently, to the FDA for an EUA in mid‐April. Well, now it is mid‐April and no  such news. AZN was holding 30 million doses waiting for an FDA green light. What is the status of the wonderful Oxford‐ AZN vaccine wrt the FDA?                          We sold‐gave 1.5 million doses of the Oxford‐AZN vaccine to the Canadians who can't inject it fast enough. I  guess their regulators are just stupid.  I saw one vid of the news in Canada and they are irate about us holding the rest of  it and doing nothing with it. Vaccine nationalism, it is called. The UK is injecting it, every day, the Oxford‐Astrazeneca  vaccine, into arms more than 30 years old. They have been injecting it since January 4, 2021. They have seen about one  case of CVT per million doses of the AZN vaccine, mostly in younger pts. The Germans are using it on pts. over 65.  The  Oxford‐AZN vaccine has been approved in 70 countries. It is being used in 27 countries of the EU, with some exceptions  or restrictions in some of them.                 We know what the symptoms are of the blood clots and when they appear: pain in the lower extremities, pain in  the abdomen, severe headaches, trouble breathing. We have drugs that can treat them. But now, says Dr. Rutherford,  the AZN vaccine is off the table in the U.S.  One expert I watch a lot thinks that money is involved, in the sense of people  making money, say, from the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines,  because the Oxford‐AZN vaccine has not been approved for  use in the US.  Surely not. Not in squeeky clean, honest to a fault, "we're all honest here and we wouldn't think of  unjustly enriching ourselves", Washington, D.C. "That would be wrong".                At 10:10 in the video, Dr. Campbell addresses the pause in the use of the J&J vaccine, and he quotes Dr. Francis  Collins, head of the NIH.  Dr. Collins says we need more time to investigate any llink between the J&J vaccine and the  CVTs. The US has injected 6.8 million doses of J&J and seen six cases of CVT in those pts. That is 1.2 CVTs per million  doses of J&J injected. But yesterday  (see my email of  Sunday, April 18, 2021 entitled by me "Recommeded to  Regulators. There, I include and discuss a Dr. John Campbell video of Friday, April 16, 2021 entitled by him "Compared  Vaccine Adverse Effects", available on Utube. There we saw that the incidence of PVTs with the mRNA vaccines (Pfizer  and Moderna) is 44 per million doses. The new Oxford report discussed there did say that the mortality rate for CVT is  20% two weeks after a Covid19 diagnosis and that the mortality rate for PVT is 18.8% in the two weeks after a Covid19  diagnosis. So Dr. Collins is not concerned about 44 cases of PVT per million doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines,  which we are injecting daily,  but he is concerned about 1.2 cases of CVT per million doses of J&J, the use of which we  have paused.   Dr. Campbell then notes the price of one shot of the J&J vaccine,  $10, versus the price of the AZN  26 vaccine‐  $3  X  2 shots = $6.  Somebody maybe does not want the lower cost AZN vaccine being use in the US.  He then  says that "I'm sure that has nothing to do with the pausing".                         The incidence of CVTs and PVTs in the general, uninfected and unvaccinated, population is very low. It is higher,  although exceedingly rare, in those who are vaccinated, at least with the adeno‐virus vector vaccines, AZN and J&J. But  it is way, way higher in pts who skipped the vaccines and are hospitalized with Covid19.                    L. William Harding               Fresno  27 Baumb, Nelly From:Nicole Taylor, President and

Especially those of us who are Black or brown, whose communities have suffered most deeply from racist policing practices — we inhaled the shortest of breaths and imagined that in a distant future we might feel seen and respected in our interactions with police. But as a Black mother with a Black son in his early twenties, I am keenly aware that that vision is still miles away. And there is only bittersweet happiness in these verdicts, because Mr. Floyd’s family and friends will never recover from their personal loss, and the people who saw him die are haunted. Yet the decisions today help fuel my persistent hope that this country will finally and carefully examine and reform law enforcement. Indeed, today has been an important step toward much needed accountability in this country.  Since George Floyd’s murder, more than 30 states have passed new police oversight and reform laws. And yet, the killing of innocent Black and brown boys and men by police officers continues. Just last week, 10 miles down the street from where Chauvin’s trial took place, Daunte Wright — a 20-year-old Black man — lost his life at the hands of another police officer. There is so much more work to do — and we heard that refrain today from 28   community leaders and social justice activists all over the country, from the White House to Minnesota to colleagues in the Bay Area. Together, we must continue to push to reform policing and reimagine the very definition of “public safety.” We must use this moment both as a reminder of our progress and a motivator to continue our fight in advancing racial justice. We all have a role to play. For Silicon Valley Community Foundation and others in the philanthropic sector, we must continue to support and invest in people and organizations that are working to correct our country’s systemic injustices. We will continue to use our platform to speak out on these issues. This trial illustrated yet again that there is a terrible imbalance of power in our nation — so we will do all we can to build power for those who have not had it. Please visit our Racial Equity and Social Justice webpage, which contains racial justice resources and guides to supporting local organizations working in this space. I believe that, collectively, we have the will and determination to effect sustained and lasting change, and to create a world that is just and fair for all.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear Mayor DuBois and City Council Members, I’m writing today to thank you for the work you’ve done so far and ask you to do more. Identifying funding for a caseworker and exploring allowing churches to build affordable housing on their land were great first steps. But to address homelessness, we have to pursue, in parallel, short term solutions like shelters and safe parking and long term solutions like permanently affordable housing. The faith community in Palo Alto continues to work in service to our city and it’s many vulnerable residents but cannot meet the need alone. It would be helpful for the City of Palo Alto to review what resources have been committed to addressing and preventing homelessness and develop a more robust list of what resources and funding are available on the County, State, and Federal level. City staff has already identified some parking lots that could be used for temporary shelter, but we need more lots, particularly public lands, to be identified for shelters and affordable housing. Homekey and Measure A funds could be a real benefit, but only if we apply and identify sites they could be used on. In addition, we must develop programs and services that are designed using a compassionate approach. Background checks and onerous program guidelines create barriers to entry and promote a false narrative around why homelessness occurs. The greatest cause of homelessness here is a loss of income and the biggest reason people remain unhoused are the costs of rents. Affordable housing is the answer. Please don’t delay in addressing this crisis. Thank you.

When CDC reported 161,392 fatalities in August 2020 there would have only been 9,684 deaths but someone changed the way to write death certificates. (" 88.9% to 96% inflation.") * CDC vastly exaggerated deaths listing the virus as the main cause for over 70s. * COVID cases had no federal oversight, nothing done to stop duplicate counting. Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola. Fact Checked STORY AT-A-GLANCE April 18, 2021 * Dr. Henry Ealy and his team started looking at CDC data on COVID-19 cases and fatalities in mid-March 2020, realizing the agency was vastly exaggerating fatalities. * Over-reporting of fatalities was enabled by a March 2020 change in how cause of death is reported on death certificates. Rather than listing COVID-19 as a contributing cause in cases where people died from other underlying conditions, it was to be listed as the primary cause * As of August 23, 2020, the CDC reported 161,392 fatalities but if original guidelines for death been used, there would have only been 9,684 due to COVID-19. * The CDC violated federal law, as the Paperwork Reduction Act requires data collection and publication to be overseen by the Office of Management and Budget. Proposed changes must be published in the Federal Register and be open to public comment. None of these transparency rules were followed * We don’t yet know who was responsible for altering the reporting rules in violation of federal law. To identify the culprits, formal grand jury investigation petitions have been sent to all U.S. attorneys and the U.S. Dept. of Justice, requesting a thorough, independent and transparent investigation; a direct public effort to gather signatures also commenced on the one-year anniversary of the CDC reporting change ---------- In this interview, Dr. Henry Ealy, ND, BCHN, better known as Dr. Henele, a certified holistic nutritionist and founder/executive community director of the Energetic Health Institute,1 reviews how U.S. federal regulatory agencies have manipulated COVID-19 statistics to control the pandemic narrative. He earned his doctorate in naturopathic medicine from SCNM. After graduating from UCLA with a B.S.in mechanical engineering, he worked for a major aerospace company as a primary database developer for the International Space Station program. He holds over 20 years of teaching and clinical experience and was the first naturopathic doctor 42 to regularly teach at a major university in the U.S., when he headed up a program at Arizona State University on bioanxiety management. As he points out, he's an avid data collector. In October 2020, Henele and a team of other investigators published a paper2 in Science, Public Health Policy and the Law, titled, "COVID-19 Data Collection, Comorbidity & Federal Law: A Historical Retrospective," which details how the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has enabled the corruption of case- and fatality-reporting data in violation of federal law. Accuracy of Data Is Paramount for Public Health Policies > "What I started doing on March 12 was going through all the data we could find from Italy and South Korea. We couldn't validate any of the data from China. There was just no independent way to do it. What we were seeing was deaths of people who are over 60-70 years of age with preexisting conditions. > So, we were expecting the same kind of trends here … I started tracking the data on a daily basis from each state health department, making what the CDC was reporting was matching up. > What we saw early on, were some significant anomalies between what the states were reporting and what the CDC was saying. It was concerning, because the variance was growing with each day. > Then we started delving in a little deeper into how the CDC was supposedly collecting their data. We saw the National Vital Statistics Systems (NVSS) March 24 guidelines, which were very concerning, and we saw the CDC adopt the Council for State and Territorial Epidemiologists paper on April 14. > What was incredibly concerning about this was that it was all done without any federal oversight, and it was all done without any public comment, especially scientific comment. That became increasingly problematic. We started to see discrepancies in the state of New York alone, in the thousands of fatalities." Special Rules for COVID-19 Fatalities Were Implemented Importantly, in March 2020, there was a significant change made to the definition of what a COVID-19 fatality was. As explained by Henele, there's a handbook on death reporting, which has been in use since 2003. There are two key sections on a death certificate. In the first part, the cause of death is detailed. In the second part, contributing factors are listed. Contributing factors are not necessarily statistically recorded. It's the first part, the actual cause of death, that is most important for statistical accounting. March 24, 2020, the NVSS updated its guidelines on how to report and track COVID-19- related deaths. > "They were saying that COVID-19 should be listed in Part 1 for statistical tracking, but [only] in cases where it is proven to have caused death, or was assumed to have caused death," Henele explains. > "What was really concerning about this document was that it specifically stated that any preexisting conditions should be moved from Part 1, where it has been put for 17 years, into Part 2. > So, it was basically taking this and saying, 'We're going to create exclusive rules for COVID-19 and we're going to do a 180 for this single disease …' The big problem with that is that now you remove the ability for a medical examiner, a coroner, a physician, to interpret [the cause of death] based upon the collective 43 health history of that patient … > You remove their expertise, and you say, 'You have to count this as COVID-19.' That takes on an added measure when you incentivize it financially, and that's what we saw with some of the Medicare and Medicaid payouts …" Who's Responsible? Answer is unknown Who has the authority to do this? The answer is "no one." A federal agency has the ability to propose a data change, at which time it would be registered in the Federal Register. At that point, federal oversight by the Office of Management and Budget kicks in, and the proposed change is opened up for public comment. Since they did not register the proposed change, there was no oversight and no possibility for the public to comment on the change. Basically, what happened is that these changes were simply implemented without following any of the prescribed rules. "They acted unilaterally, and that's not how [it] is supposed to work," Henele says. As to who took it upon themselves to alter the reporting rules, we don't know. To identify the culprits, Henele and his team have sent out formal grand jury investigation petitions to every U.S. attorney and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), requesting a thorough, independent and transparent investigation. > "We did it at both state and federal levels. We have sent physical copies to every U.S. attorney and their aides. We sent out over 247 mailings in October [2020]," Henele explains. "We sent out an additional 20 to 30 to various people at the Department of Justice … > They would have the ability to call a grand jury, and that grand jury would have the ability to subpoena all those records to determine who were at fault … All we need is one U.S. attorney. All we need is one person at the Department of Justice to take up the cause." Dramatic Implications---89% to 96% inflation The consequences of that change in the definition of the cause of death where COVID-19 is involved have been dramatic. For the full implications, I recommend reading through Henele's peer-reviewed paper, "COVID-19: CDC Violates Federal Law to Enable Corruption of Fatality-Reporting Data."3 > "We've accumulated about 10,000 hours of collective team research into this [paper]. It's been reviewed by nine attorneys and a judge for accuracy. It's gone through the peer-review process before being published. We feel it's tight. > On page 20 of the paper, we have a big graphic showing what the estimated actual fatality count should have been as of August 23, 2020. What was reported on August 23 was 161,392 fatalities caused by COVID-19 … > Had we used the 2003 guidelines, our estimates would have roughly 9,684 total fatalities . That's a significant difference. That's a difference on the scale of as much as 96%. The range that we calculated was 88.9% to 96% inflation." Indeed, this matches up with an admission by the CDC in late August 2020, at which time they admitted that only 6% of the total death count had COVID-19 listed as the sole cause of death. The remaining 94% had had an average of 2.6 comorbidities or preexisting health conditions that contributed to their deaths.4 > "For absolute 100% accuracy, we'd need to follow a whistleblower in Florida, where they've actuall reexamined every single death certificate and the medical records with them. What they found was that roughly 80% of the fatalities were wrongfully classified as COVID-19 fatalities," Henele says. 44 Science Foundations Have Been Violated Mainstream media have justified pandemic measures "based on the science," yet the very foundation of science has been violated. The ramifications are enormous, from the destruction of local economies and skyrocketing suicide rates to people being forced to die alone, their family members being barred from being at their bedside during their last moments. > Americans should not have to die alone because we're worried about some virus that they're telling us is a problem, when the data, even the data that we know to be inflated and fraudulent, still doesn't suggest the virility that they want us to believe." -------The COVID-19 Timeline is printed at the end of this article below.---------- It is excellent record of what has been going on so do take time to read it. AG > Transparency Rules Have Been Grossly Violated > So, what exactly is the connection between the Paperwork Reduction Act and the COVID-19 fatality data? Why is it so important? >> "Well, the Paperwork Reduction Act is really about establishing oversight," Henele explains. "It established the Office of Management and Budget, the OMB, which is under the executive branch. It established them as the key agency for oversight of all data in the entire federal government. >> So, when you start seeing IHME [Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation] out of the U. of Washington — which is heavily funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to the tune of $384 million in two installments — when you see their data being used at federal levels, you go and look at the Federal Register and you say, 'OK, where is the 30 to 60 days that we were supposed to have to comment on the use of that data?' >> Public comment is part of the Paperwork Reduction Act. That's what it's all about. … IHME is … technically an independent organization, but they don't have any governmental designation. >> They're not a 501(c)(3), they're not a 501(c)(4), they're not a 501(c)(6). They're just this amorphous nongovernmental organization within our country, and it's kind of concerning because they don't have anybody to account to. "Test-Based Strategy Has Been an Egregious Fraud-- In addition to the manipulation of fatality statistics, the statistics of "cases" were also manipulated. Traditionally, a "case" is a patient who is symptomatic; someone who is actually ill. When it comes to COVID-19, however, a "case" suddenly became anyone who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 using a PCR test, or worse, assumed positive based on proximity to someone who tested positive. > The CDC specifically enacted what's called a test-based strategy, which we've never done before in medicine for anything. What that test-based strategy means is if you test positive, you got [COVID-19]. ~ Dr. Henele > I've detailed this fraud in many previous articles over the past year, including "Coronavirus Fraud Scandal — The Biggest Fight Has Just Begun" and "The Insanity of the PCR Testing Saga." "Cases" were also counted multiple times, as explained above. Henele expounds on this issue, noting: >> "The CDC specifically enacted what's called a test-based strategy, which we've never done before in medicine for anything. What that test-based strategy means 45 is if you test positive, you got [COVID-19]. But what they didn't do for the PCR testing was they didn't identify the agreed upon number of cycles across all states across all labs that are testing. >> What most people don't know is that the closer you get to zero in terms of cycle times, the more likely that the result is going to be negative. The closer you get to 60, the more likely that it's going to be positive. >> Well, we've never seen a document coming out of the FDA, coming out of the CDC, coming out of any of the state health departments, that says, 'We need all labs to be at this specific cycle [threshold]. And if a person is not deemed positive with that number of cycles, then they are not positive.' So, there's just flaw after flaw after flaw." Data Manipulation Created COVID-19 Pandemic > Most labs used cycle thresholds above 40 — as recommended by the CDC and the World Health Organization — which exponentially increased the likelihood of a positive test, even among completely healthy and noninfectious individuals. The only justification for all of this is that it was done to perpetuate the narrative that we were in a raging pandemic, which was then used to justify the unprecedented destruction of personal freedom and the economy. >> "The thing I have to give the folks that have been involved in this credit for is the incredible number of sleights of hands," Henele says. "It's a little bit here, a little bit here, a little bit here, a little bit here. >> And when that happens, it leads to something that is very dangerous scientifically, and very dangerous for public health policy, which is control of data — the ability to manipulate data … and if you can control the data, you get to control the narrative … >> If we're not going to have an absolute, transparent and verifiable data collection process that is based upon accuracy and integrity of that data, then you can turn that [pandemic emergency] dial up and down at your whim. My hope is that the objective scientist within all of us understands that this is bigger than politics. This is beyond it. This is a severely broken system that we have to fix, and we better do it." > As discussed in many other articles, it appears the COVID-19 pandemic has in fact been a preplanned justification for the implementation of a global technocrat-led control system, which includes a brand-new financial system to replace the central bank- manufactured fiat economy that is now at the end of its functional life. Fiat currency is manufactured through the creation of debt with interest attached, and the whole world is now so laden with debt it can never be repaid. > If people understood how the central banks of the world have pulled the wool over our eyes, we would simply demand an end to the central banks. Currency ought to be created and managed nationally. > The central banks, of course, do not want this reality to become common knowledge, because then they will no longer be able to manipulate all the countries of the world, so they need the economic breakdown to appear natural. For that, they need a global catastrophe, such as a major war, or a fearsome pandemic necessitating the shutdown of economies. > Through this willful manipulation of case- and fatality statistics, the CDC has been complicit in willful misconduct by generating needless fear that has then been used against you to rob you of your personal freedoms and liberties and help usher 46 in this massive transfer of wealth and global tyranny. As noted by Henele, "People are going to be complicit in their own slavery. People are complicit in putting digital shackles around themselves and really restricting their civil liberties." > Hopefully, people will begin to understand how pandemic statistics have been, and still are, manipulated to control the narrative and generate unjustified fear for no other reason than to get you to comply with tyrannical measures designed to enslave you, not just temporarily but permanently. > > More Information--Ways You can Help > To understand how we got to this point, please consider reading Henele's paper, " COVID-19: CDC Violates Federal Law to Enable Corruption of Fatality-Reporting Data." As noted by Henele: >> "I'm looking forward to the day when we look back on this, and go, 'Oh, we almost fell for one, but we woke up in time and we figured this out. And now we have a good balance of technology, but technology that doesn't have the right to censor us, technology that doesn't have the right to control us; we have figured out that having too much control in the hands of too few is not a good recipe for us as a species on this planet.' >> We know it doesn't pass the smell test, so it's important to get informed and educated and it's papers like this — and this isn't the only one out there — that have done the homework. If we're going to trust someone, it's important to me that we trust people who've done the homework and have no vested interest in the outcome. >> My team is a team of volunteers. We all do this in our spare time. We're not making any money. We're not going to seek to make any money off of this. We're doing this because we believe in this country. We love this country and we love the people of this country. When I see people suffering, I have to help. I got to get in and help. >> So, if you are an American that wants to help, we are setting up resources for you to be able to get engaged and help us push this forward, maybe grease some of these wheels of justice, so we can get an independent grand jury investigation." > For additional information, or if you want to help, you can email Henele and his team at COVIDResearchTeam@protonmail.com. You can also use your voice and actions to support an investigation into the CDC's actions. > Two Easy Ways You Can Take Action > 1. Add your signature to this petition to help mount public pressure to convene a formal grand jury to investigate allegations of willful misconduct by federal agencies during COVID-19 through Stand For Health Freedom, a nonprofit advocacy organization that Henele and his team have collaborated with > 2. Send a predrafted, customizable letter through Stand For Health Freedom urging key members of Congress to thoroughly investigate alleged violations of federal law by the CDC that compromised COVID-19 data This Timeline is printed in the middle of the original document butit has been moved to the end (for those of you who have time to read all of this document.) Forward by Arlene Goetze, MA, writer/editor, No Toxins for Children Whole document can be found in Mercola Newsletter, April 18, 2021 > COVID-19 Timeline > In their paper, Henele and his team detail a timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic 47 and federal laws that impact data handling. Here's a summary: > In 1946, certain administrative procedures were implemented. The Administrative Procedures Act requires federal agents and agencies to follow certain rules to get things done. These rules are to ensure transparency in government. > > "If you're a federal agency, you have an obligation to the people of this country to make sure that the data you're publishing is not only accurate, but that it is transparent, "Henele explains. > In 1980, the Paperwork Reduction Act was written into law. In 1995, the Act was amended, designating the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as the oversight body for all federal agencies' data. > In October 2002, the Information Quality Act was implemented, which doubles down even further on the accuracy and integrity and data gathering. This act requires federal agencies to meet explicit criteria in order for their data to be published and analyzed. > In 2005, the Virology Journal published research demonstrating that hydroxychloroquine has strong antiviral effects against SARS-CoV (the virus responsible for SARS) primate cells. This finding was hailed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, Henele notes. In other words, 15 years ago, Fauci admitted that hydroxychloroquine works against coronaviruses. This is public record. > As reported in "The Lancet Gets Lanced With Hydroxychloroquine Fraud" and "How a False Hydroxychloroquine Narrative Was Created," the myth that this drug was useless at best and dangerous at worst was purposely created using falsified research and trials in which the drug was given in toxic doses. > This fraudulent research was then used to discourage and in some cases block the use of hydroxychloroquine worldwide. As noted by Henele, "It's not science. We're in this very weird faith-based model of science, which isn't science at that point." > In 2014, Fauci authorized $3.7 million to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). In 2019, WIV received another $3.7 million. In both instances, this funding was for gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses. > October 18, 2019, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security hosted Event 201, in conjunction with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum and a few other financial partners. November 17, 2019, China recorded the first known case of COVID-19. > > "Now, they could be completely unrelated," Henele says, "but for us, it's a very incredible coincidence that you run a simulation a month before a pandemic breaks out. It's a little tough for me to digest as just a coincidence." > January 29, 2020, the White House installed a coronavirus task force, which included Fauci and then-CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield, as well as Derek Kan, then-deputy director of the OMB. > > "I found this to be a little interesting," Henele says. "Why would you need an OMB person on a coronavirus task force?" > March 9, 2020, the CDC alerted Americans over 60 with preexisting conditions that they might be in for a long lockdown out of safety concerns. > March 24, the CDC changed how COVID-19 is recorded on death certificates, de- emphasizing preexisting conditions and comorbidities, and basically calling all deaths in 48 which the patient had a positive SARS-CoV-2 test a COVID-19 death. > > "We have, legitimately on record, people who've died in a motorcycle accident listed as a COVID-19 death. These are not fictitious things that we've made up. Rhode Island had over 80% of their fatalities at one point in either assisted living centers or hospice care. Why are we testing people in hospice care and life care? That's another interesting question," Henele says. > April 14, 2020, the CDC adopted a position paper from a nonprofit, the Council for State and Territorial Epidemiologists, which identifies every single methodology for how to report a probable COVID-19 case, a confirmed COVID-19 case, an epidemiologically-linked or contact-traced COVID case. > > "What's so incredible about this is the standard of proof for a probable case is literally one cough. That's all a physician needs, [according to] this document, to validate that that person is a probable COVID case," Henele says. > > "And it gets worse. On Page 6 of that document, Section 7B, it explicitly states that they are not going to define a methodology to ensure that the same person cannot be counted multiple times. So, what we end up with is a revolving door. > > Now, in terms of new cases, the same person can be counted over and over and over again, without being tested, without having any symptoms. All they need to do is be within 6 feet of someone [who has been deemed positive for SARS-CoV-2] and then a contact tracer can say, 'OK, well, that person is [also] positive.' > > When we looked at data from last week, roughly 27% of the people who were said to be positive actually had a positive test. That means 73% were just told 'Yeah, we think you got it.' And that's good enough, because we're in this faith-based model of science, instead of a verifiable framework for science, which we're supposed to be based on. > > That person then cannot go back to work until they show a negative test. Well, let's say they get tested 13 times. Guess what happens? That's 13 new cases, when it really should only be one. > > So, there are major flaws, and the issue that I think a lot of scientists like myself … have with this document and its adoption is that there was no oversight, and there was no public comment period to question some of the obvious flaws in what they were defining as data collection — let alone to ask a very simple question: 'You're the CDC, you're supposed to be the pinnacle of this. > > Why do you need to outsource rules and criteria for data collection to a nonprofit entity?' That doesn't make much sense to me."

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Commissioners, At your 04-21-21 meeting, https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/agendas-minutes-reports/agendas-minutes/utilities-advisory- commission/archived-agenda-and-minutes/agendas-and-minutes-2021/04-21-2021-special/uac-agenda-april-21-2021.pdf you will consider an item (VII.1) about expanding the City's fiber network -- both a fiber backbone and a FTTP network. https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/agendas-minutes-reports/agendas-minutes/utilities-advisory- commission/archived-agenda-and-minutes/agendas-and-minutes-2021/04-21-2021-special/id-12118-item-no-1.pdf Here (below the "======" line) are my comments. But first, some general comments. 1. I think Palo Alto should implement citywide municipal FTTP ASAP. 2. Staff asks for a recommendation on whether to implement citywide municipal FTTP in one citywide step, which they say would require bonding, or incrementally, which they say would not. But the report doesn't really discuss the feasibility of bonding, so it's not clear how UAC should decide what to recommend. Staff says its incremental option would require more than a decade. I think that's too long. 3. I continue to think that the City ought to think about deploying FTTP first, and only then think about what else has to be built to meet all of the City's telecom requirements. 4. When, on 08-21-17, Council gave staff permission to think about deploying a FTTN network before deploying FTTP, they might have been thinking that it would cost only $5 million or $12 million (per previous estimates). Now that it might take $28 million, maybe they should be having second thoughts. 5. The 09-28-15 report estimated that deploying citywide municipal FTTP would cost $77.6 million. Staff's current estimate is now up to $126 million. The 04-21-21 report doesn't explain this increase. On the other hand, the 09-28-15 report estimated that it would require a take rate of 72 percent to be financially viable, or 57 percent if $20 million were obtained from the Fiber Fund. The current report has a lower estimate for required take rate.   Thanks.      Jeff      Jeff Hoel  731 Colorado Avenue  Palo Alto, CA 94303    ==========================================================================================    50 COMMENTS:    Note: page numbers listed are PDF page numbers first, and then, in parentheses, the document's printed page numbers.    ‐‐‐ page 1 ‐‐‐    ... Fiber‐to‐the‐Home (FTTH) business plan ....    ###  Council ought to decide whether, going forward, to say "fiber‐to‐the‐home" (FTTH) or "fiber‐to‐the‐premises"  (FTTP), and then direct staff to respect that choice.  I like FTTP because it implies that it's for businesses as well as  homes.    ‐‐‐ page 2 ‐‐‐    ... 2001 ... The FTTH Trial passed 230 homes and included 66 participants ...    ###  The FTTH Trial was not designed to "pass" premises.  That is, it wasn't designed to be able to connect new premises  easily.  Also, some records say 67 homes participated.    The FTTH Trial proved technical feasibility, but when initial investment and overhead expenditures were included in the  calculation to create a business case, it was not profitable for the City and the trial was ended.    ###  The FTTH Trial was designed to find out ONLY two things: 1) could staff make it work, and 2) would customers be  happy.  The result: yes, staff could make it work, and yes, customers were happy ‐‐ i.e., until the Trial was terminated.    ###  The City intended to terminate the Trial after only one year, assuming that would be long enough to find out the  aforementioned two things.  But it actually ran for more like four years, in part because customers liked it, and in part  because cash flow was positive ‐‐ i.e., revenues exceeded expenses.    ###  Staff decided to use electronics that the manufacturer was willing to lend to the City for free for a year.  It was NOT  the electronics that would have been a good choice for a real network.  (For example, it offered only 5 Mbps.)    ###  It was known from the beginning that the Trial would cost more per home than a practical network would have to  cost.    ###  The report doesn't even mention that from 2002 to 2004, the City generated a FTTH Business case (12‐04‐02), FTTH  Business Plan Phase 1 (05‐07‐03), and FTTH Business Plan Phase 2.  These documents said that citywide FTTP in Palo Alto  was indeed feasible.  But then staff became concerned that the assumed financing method ‐‐ revenue bonds backed  primarily by FTTH revenues and secondarily by electric revenues ‐‐ might not be legal in California.    ... 2006  ... In 2009, Staff recommended that Council terminate the RFP process and negotiations due to the lack of  financial resources of the private firms.    ###  I heard that Axia terminated the negotiations because it wanted to free up its resources to pursue another deal.    ... 2013  ... Council also directed the City Manager to appoint a Fiber and Wireless Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) ....    ###  Council's Technology and the Connected City Committee directed City Manager Keene to appoint a CAC (05‐14‐ 13).  It took him about nine months to announce the appointment of the CAC members (02‐18‐14.  But a day later,  Google Fiber announced its intention to deploy citywide FTTP in Palo Alto.  That derailed the municipal discussion until  Google Fiber announced in 2016 that it would "pause" all of its FTTP deployments.    51 ‐‐‐ page 3 ‐‐‐    For the citywide high‐level fiber backbone design, Magellan sought input from internal departments including Utilities,  Public Works, Office of Emergency Services, Transportation, Information Technology and Community services.    ###  Exactly what information did Magellan seek?    The new citywide fiber backbone will connect and dedicate fibers to each department under a new high‐capacity 432‐ strand fiber network.    ###  Nothing in the report explains why ANY department needs ANY dedicated fiber strands.  Why can't each  department just be FTTP customers?    ###  There's a maxim that you should always install way more fiber strands than you think you'll ever use.  But in this  case, I'd like a little more scrutiny.    There are also fibers dedicated to commercial dark fiber and potential FTTH.    ###  How many fiber strands for commercial dark fiber?  What marketing analysis says so?    ###  How many fiber strands for "potential FTTH"?  I'd rather that FTTP were not described as "potential."    In addition, Utilities requested cost information for creating a new and separate 144‐strand fiber backbone network to  support electric substations, AMI, and SCADA for reliability, redundancy, and security reasons.  The estimated cost of the  two fiber backbone networks is between $22 million and $28 million ....    ###  Would these two fiber backbone networks be routed on exactly the same paths?  In other words, would one 576‐ strand cable serve the purpose?    ###  Over the years, the City has estimated that a fiber backbone network might cost $5 million, then $12 million, and  now up to $28 million.    Maintaining the viability of the existing dark fiber offering is important to CPAU to avoid erosion of the customer base  and existing revenues (approximately $2 million in net revenues per year).    ###  A 04‐03‐13 staff report projects dark fiber financials from 2012 to 2018.  https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/agendas‐minutes‐reports/agendas‐minutes/utilities‐advisory‐ commission/archived‐agenda‐and‐minutes/agendas‐and‐minutes‐2013/04‐03‐2013‐meeting/item‐3_fiber‐financial‐ projections‐fy‐2014‐fy‐2018.pdf  In 2018, net revenues were projected to be $3.197 million.  It would be great if staff would write a sequel report  projecting financials thru 2026.    ###  According to this Utilities Quarterly Report for 4Q20, the Fiber Fund increased $2.707 million during FY 2020.  https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/agendas‐minutes‐reports/reports/uac‐informational‐reports/2021‐ informational‐reports/02‐03‐2021/id‐11731.pdf    ###  Why does the dark fiber network need to ADD fiber strands ‐‐ a lot of fiber strands ‐‐ to avoid eroding the customer  base?  Currently, 100% of the needs of existing customers is being served by existing fiber strands.    ‐‐‐ page 4 ‐‐‐    • Total fiber backbone project  52   ###  How many nodes will the fiber backbone project have?    ###  Does staff already know exactly what routes the fiber backbone will take?  The report predicts 65% underground  and 35% aerial.  Does this correspond exactly with where the electric wires are on these routes?  If not, how does staff  decide what should be undergrounded and what can be aerial?    ... loose‐tube ....    ###  Will some future report explain why loose‐tube is the best choice?    • Underground Construction ... • 24" to 36" depth unless Palo Alto has a greater depth requirement.    ###  This sounds like the author doesn't know what Palo Alto's requirement is.  Why not?    ###  The conduit for fiber added to University Avenue as part of the Upgrade Downtown project had a depth of more  like 5 feet.  And cost way too much.  Did Magellan take a look at this project?    ‐‐‐ page 6 ‐‐‐    ... Equipment ....    ###  In the Partnership ISP case, equipment and installation is said to cost nothing, which means the partner pays for  it.  And, I suppose, chooses it.   I think this would be a disaster.  The City has to control exactly what the electronics is.    • Full buildout to 100% of homes in the City.    ###  Does this mean 100% of premises (not just homes) will be "passed" (not necessarily connected), right?    Reuse of existing fiber and deployment of new fiber backbone to serve business customers.    ###  I don't really understand what this is saying.  What fiber strands are there to re‐use?  Why should any FTTP  customer use strands in the fiber backbone?    ‐‐‐ page 7 ‐‐‐    Companion capital projects, abandoned gas, undergrounding provides some value to reduce overall costs over time, but  only incremental and not significant.    ###  If it's not significant, why mention it?    ###  Why say "over time"?  Shouldn't we be planning for an ASAP deployment?    • Utilization of the $30M fiber fund for backbone and working capital    ###  At last report, the Fiber Fund had $33.065 million.  https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/agendas‐minutes‐reports/reports/uac‐informational‐reports/2021‐ informational‐reports/02‐03‐2021/id‐11731.pdf    The brown areas of the map are mostly businesses that are currently being served by existing dark fiber network (purple  lines).  Additional fiber would be deployed in these areas on a customer demand basis.    53 ###  This is probably a bad idea.  How much would be saved by not passing premises in brown areas?  If premises in a  brown area "demanded" to be passed, who would pay to make that happen?    ###  In theory, the entire City is already served by the existing dark fiber network.  It's just that some premises are closer  than others to the nearest dark fiber node, so some connections cost more than others.    ‐‐‐ page 8 ‐‐‐    ‐‐‐ page 9 ‐‐‐    Balance of Fiber Fund for FTTH Expansion   $17,500,000 ....    ###  The Fiber Fund has about $33,000,000.  What about the other $16,500,000?  I have the impression that the report  used to have a "Funding the Fiber Backbone Network" table similar to the "Funding the FTTH Expansion" table on page  9, but then it was removed.    Loan from Electric Special Project Reserve   $15,000,000 ....    ###  Does the City Attorney think this is legal?    Comcast reports 100% homes passed in Palo Alto using Cable based broadband.    ###  BroadbandNow says it's 99%  https://broadbandnow.com/California/Palo‐Alto  Keep in mind that the BroadbandNow data means that 99% of Palo Alto's census blocks have at least one premises  passed by Comcast.    ###  At UAC's 08‐05‐20 meeting, the Palo Alto Hills Broadband Working group complained that Comcast doesn't serve  their neighborhood.    AT&T reports up to 28% FTTH availability within Palo Alto.    ###  BroadbandNow says it's 28.2%.    Both AT&T and Comcast offer up to 1 Gigabytes download speeds and up to 25% upload speeds.    ###  Don't ever say "gigabytes" when talking about speed.    ###  Comcast offers up to 1 Gbps down and 35 Mbps up.    ###  AT&T offers up to 1 Gbps down and 1 Gbps up.    Other carriers offer DSL based and fixed wireless service.    ###  AT&T used to offer DSL service, but I don't think they offer it to new customers anymore.  Sonic, using AT&T wires,  used to offer DSL service, but I don't think they offer it to new customers anymore.    Notably, AT&T claims 10,000 FTTH homes passed ...    ###  IF there are 26,504 homes in Palo Alto (12,412 + 7,092 + 7,000 ‐‐ see page 80), and 28.2% are passed by AT&T Fiber,  that's 7,474 homes ‐‐ not 10,000.  (Ideally, the 04‐21‐21 report would have said how many homes Palo Alto has.)    54 Comcast's strong suit is its use of DOCSIS.1, a technology that allows them to serve customers over conventional copper  wire at fiber speed, but a reduced operational cost to the carrier.    ###  Nonsense.  Comcast is using DOCSIS 3.1 technology, which is a hybrid fiber coax (HFC) technology.  The wire used to deliver service to the home is a coaxial cable, not "conventional copper wire." The fastest service offered using  this technology is "up to" 1 Gbps down and "up to" 35 Mbps up.  Upload speed is nowhere near "fiber  speed."  Advertised download speed is not achieved whenever the network is congested.  Typically HFC technology costs  more to operate than FTTP technology.  If Comcast wanted to offer a product with 1 Gbps speeds both down and up, it  could upgrade to DOCSIS 4.0 technology when it becomes available.    By national standards, Palo Alto is well served by AT&T and Comcast and by a small group of "boutique" providers such  as Sonic.net.    ###  In Palo Alto, Sonic.net uses AT&T's infrastructure to provide its services.  (In some other towns, it uses its own FTTP  infrastructure.)    The primary risks for the City arise from competing with a very aggressive private ...    ‐‐‐ page 10 ‐‐‐    ... sector industry that will fight to not lose a single customer.    ###  There are many examples of municipal FTTP networks that compete successfully against AT&T and Comcast.    ‐‐‐ page 11 ‐‐‐    Magellan will be designing a survey ....

says that a PPP doesn't make a FTTP network more feasible financially.  So its financial analysis doesn't consider PPPs in  detail.    How will the City maintain neutrality and open interconnection policies with private sector providers, promoting a  competitive environment that benefits the City's broadband user base?    ###  The Falmouth feasibility report says making the network "open access" makes the network less feasible financially,  so its financial analysis doesn't consider "open access" in detail.

              Now having watched this several times and having taken notes, I will indeed tease out the numbers he shows.  He arrives at some conclusions at odds with what the EMA, UK and US regulators are saying.  Either the EMA or Oxford  62 University or Dr. Campbell or I am lying or hallucinating, but the conclusions reached here could change policy re. the  use of the various vaccines.  He gives the URLs for the Oxford report and for the news coverage of it.  His discussion of  the report begins at 8:30 into the video. This is from Friday, April 16, 2021:                      Compared vaccine adverse effects ‐ YouTube                             CVT is cerebral vein thrombosis and and PVT is portal vein thrombosis. The hepatic portal vein carries blood from  the gastrointestinal tract to the liver. One can develop a clot in the portal vein, a portal vein thrombosis, or PVT.  Also,  one can develop clots in the splanchnic veins, splanchnic thromboses, in the smaller veins that feed blood to the portal  vein.                                   The report details the incidence of CVT in the two weeks following diagnosis with Covid19 and the  incidence in the two weeks following the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, the mRNA vaccines. The incidences are:                Two weeks after diagnosis with Covid19:  39 cases per million cases.               Two weeks after receiving the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines: 4.1 cases per million.                Incidence in the general population without those vaccines and without being infected with Covid19:  O.41 per  million in any two week period.                Now here is a shocker, if true: Incidence of CVT within two weeks of receiving the Oxford‐Astrazeneca vaccine: 5.0  per million.                  Again, the incidence of CVT within two weeks of receiving the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, the mRNA vaccines,  4.1 per million.                 So, says Dr. Campbell, there is only a slightly higher risk of CVT with the Oxford‐Astrazeneca vaccine over the  Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. (!)                      LH‐  So why have we been hearing for weeks that the CVT incidence is ~ 1 in a million with the Oxford  Astrazeneca vaccine? This report says  5 per million.   AND, further confounding, 4.1 per million cases of CVT with the  Pfizer and Moderna vaccines!  If that is true, the UK and the US and the EU had better also halt the use of the Pfizer and  Moderna vaccines if CVT is a reason to halt or limit the use of the Oxford‐Astrazeneca vacccine. The risk of CVT is almost  the same with either the adeno‐virus vector vaccines ‐‐  AZN at least, or the mRNA vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna,  according to this report. We have been hearing that the deadly combination after the AZN vaccine is CVT combined with  thrombocytopenia, a low number of platelets. He points out here that pts with Covid 19 also display thrombocytopenia.  I do not know if the presence or absence of thrombocytopenia somehow accounts for the 5.0 cases of CVT observed  here per million doses of the Oxford vaccine verses the roughly one case of CVT per million doses in the news for  Oxford‐AZN.   Maybe the pts. looked at in this report who had CVT after receiving the Oxford vaccine had five times as  frequent thrombocytopenia as the one in a million pts. with CVT after receiving the Oxford vaccine we hear about in the  news. Also, why this report indicates 4.1 cases of CVT per million doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines is a  puzzlement. Why would those events not be getting reported?                           Then Dr. Campbell  turns to the numbers for PVT:                     Incidence of PVT thombosis within two weeks after a diagnosis of Covid19: 436  cases per million.     That is WAY  higher than the incidence of CVT, Dr. Johnson says.                In fact, at 16:00, he says "So the main thing to worry about is these abdominal  blood clots, much more so that  the cerebral vein thomboses".     63                 Well, hold on Dr. Campbell.  The next numbers he gives, at 17:40 are the mortality numbers for CVT and PVT  within two weeks of a Covid19 diagnosis:  They are:   CVT  20% mortality                                      PVT  18.9% mortality.                      So while the number of PVTs is much higher in the first two weeks after diagnosis with Covid19 than are the CVTs,  the CVTs are much deadlier.  Still, those very large numbers of PVT must burden the hospitals, and the pts.,  tremendously to address. But one cannot shift attention away from the smaller number of but deadlier CVTs.                  One final observation he makes is re the splanchnic thromboses in the veins feeding the portal vein.                   Two weeks after vaccination with the Oxford‐AZN vaccine, the incidence is 53 out of 34 million vaccinated, or 1.6  splanchnic thromboses per million doses.                   Two weeks after vaccination with the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, the incidence is  44 per million!  So, he says,  massively less with the Oxford‐AZN vaccine.                 Then he says that the EMA has elected to focus on the CVTs.               Conclusion, if any of the data is correct:  The incidence of CVTs is almost the same for the Oxford‐Astrazeneca  vaccine (5.0 per million vaccinated)  and for the Pfizer and Moderna (4.1 per million vaccinated) vaccines!  And for  Splanchnic thomboses, the incidence is WAY higher for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines  (44 per million vaccinated)  than it is for the Oxford‐Astrazeneca vaccine (1.6 per million vaccinated).                  I hope all of the regulators will study this data. I can see how it could change policy regarding the use of the  various vaccines.                 L. William Harding

             He looks at the incidence of CVST from Covid itself, and the incidence after different vaccines.  Also, the incidence  of Portal vein thromboses, PVT,  after Covid itself and after different vaccines.  Some surprising results and I recommend  this to the regulators in the US.  I watched it twice and then it came clear.                All of this is from a report put out ON THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 2021, by Oxford University, but by a different unit  there than the vaccine people. The results of the study, not yet peer reviewed, are surprising.  J&J and Oxford‐ Astrazeneca are adeno‐virus vector vaccines and the Pfizer and Moderna are mRNA vaccines.  Regulators should look at  this data carefully. He wonders how the EMA will react to this report and I wonder how the US regulators will react to it.  I won't tease out and reproduce the numbers here. One sees what is happening by viewing the video.                He starts discussing the report at 8:30  of the 22:14 video.

Read on for more details. The "Pop-Up" Sale Again Another special FOPAL sale--The last portion of the art donation-- Pop-up books--will go on sale in Cubberley's Room H1 (next to FOPAL's Bargain Room) on April 24 and 25 from 10 am to 3 pm each day. Added attractions will be records and music CDs, and also a selection of hi-fi equipment (receivers, speakers, tape (cassette) decks, a tuner, turntables). Only 20 people will be allowed in the room at any one time and they will be admitted on a first come, first enter, policy. Shopping time should be limited to 45 minutes to allow for more people to enter. Cashiers will have credit card capability. Pop-Up Books Pop-up books--in which some or all of the pages are three-dimensional and the pictures literally pop up off the pages--intrigue almost everyone, from toddlers to adults. Thanks largely to a local collector's donation, FOPAL is offering thousands of pop-ups for sale. Whether you're a sports fan, a Disney fanatic, a folk and fairy tale enthusiast, an animal lover, a budding paleontologist, an art aficionado, a birder, a parent or grandparent, or a collector yourself--you're bound to be captivated by these ingenious books. Sophisticated or whimsical, all of the pop-ups are in excellent condition; some of the books have never been read. And the prices are low enough that you can take home bags full: from 50 cents to about $5.00! Come to Cubberley Room H1, browse, buy, and enjoy! And, this time we are having special pricing for pop-up books: buy five books and get one book of equal or lesser value free!

These will be priced at $1 and $2. We also have brought records from the bargain room so record buyers only need to work with one set of entry requirements. We're also bringing thousands of music CDs of all genres (Classical, Country & Western, Easy Listening, Holiday Music, International, Jazz, Religious, Rock, 60s/70s Rock, Soundtracks seen as of this writing). Many $1, many $2, several higher priced, many fresh this month: we think there are 2,700 in the room thus far and CD section manager John Scheibe says there will be more. Library News and Information The big Palo Alto Library news is that the Children's Library is now open by appointment for browsing. The Library's Current Services page has more information (click to expand the "In-Library Services" section). Mitchell Park and Rinconada will follow in May.

Any problems email: admin@livableca.org. Thursday, 7 state senators voted YES on horrific SB 9: Caballero, Cortese, McGuire, Skinner, Umberg, Wieckowski and of course Wiener. SB 9 destroys single-family streets that house 21M Californians. To let investors erect 6 rental units per lot. Two senators voted NO: Pat Bates and Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh, who we should all thank. This week, a highly respected Democratic legislative analyst told Los Angeles/South Bay voters, “It’s not an academic argument where real-world data carries the day. It’s ideology." As in 2020, state senators (and some assembly members) are hiding the horrific and failied SB 50, by Scott Wiener, in the Five Bad Bills of 2021. Please join us Saturday for a fascinating reveal and strategy against Five Bad Bills of 2021:  How bad bills get forced through Sacto’s rarely reported committee hearings. 91  How these bills indiscriminately destroy communities from working-class to well-off.  How to understand each bill, filled with misleading, absurd, purposely dense jargon.  How to educate/swing your legislator. Most have no idea. Or they fear Wiener & Atkins. Yes, there are several Good Bills, we’ll give you a great list! By the end of our teleconference, you’ll have a PhD in What’s Gone Wrong in the Capitol. Folks, we’re little guys fighting very big money. Wiener has accepted more cash from developer/investors than any legislator we know of in the West. We ask you to please donate here, now to Livable California. So we can push back. We thank you so very much! On Saturday, you’ll meet friends from across California who have had Zooms and calls with their legislators and can share with you how to jump in. You’re not alone!

today, Wed., but they said not today. Only 20 min. of him today, his voice gave out, he's been sick, but coming out of it.  Worth seeing, as usual. Then Thursday, April 15, 2021, the CDC says the halt on the J&J vaccine would continue for eight  more days. He looks at the clots from J&J in the US and they all were women and in pre‐menopausal women. He  speculates that maybe the CDC will approve the vaccine for men and for women over 50.                He says that Heparin does not dissolve clots. The body and other meds can do that. Heparin prevents an existing  clot from growing.             Note at the outset, he shows a chart from the Covid tracker of new cases in U,S., Canada and the UK.  The U.S. and  Canada lines have gone way up,  almost to the same level as each other. He says this is driven by the variants.  Note the  U.K. line is way down. Australia and New Zealand are lines at the bottom of the chart. So great time to open businesses  and schools in the U.S.  Way to go, Gov. Newsom.                Global update ‐ YouTube                     He discusses the Covid disaster now in India. Huge religious holididay the government there can't hope to stifle.  Three million people in the Ganges yesterday. That is outside, but they stay many to a hotel room during the holiday.  Five to ten million people attend. India has been a major exporter of vaccine, but now the UK is not getting the amount  they expected‐ contracted for‐  because the Indians are over‐whelmed with cases and want the vaccine they produce for  thermselves.            Turkey‐ New daily cases up.                   France‐  Dramatic increase in cases. Severe trouble for hospitals.  Lock down now in France.                  He also discusses the Covid disaster in Brazil. Pres. Bolsanaro wisely keeps telling his people to "quit whining".  ICUs there are over‐run. THEN DR. JOHNSON SAYS THAT FRANCE IS CONSIDERING LIMITING FLIGHTS COMING IN  FROM  BRAZIL.  HE SAYS "YOU MEAN THEY ARE STILL ALLOWING FLIGHTS IN FROM BRAZIL  !!!!  ????  Note how he has to  consider his language there.  He says "a lack of proactivity, unconscienceable".                   That raises the question of whether the US government is allowing flights in from Brazil. If we are, then that  would be a whole additional ground for impeaching Biden. Of course, Brazilians can always fly to Mexico, say, stay a  couple of days, and the book a flight to the U.S.  Don't we look at their passports as they attempt to enter the US?  Of  course, one can buy any passport he needs in Mexico. WE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWING PEOPLE FROM BRAZIL TO ENTER  THE US THESE DAYS.  Speak to them in Portuguese and in Spanish. See which they respond to.    95                  Stanford is vaccinating young children and babies. This is a trial to determine what dose and schedule of shots  are best for them:                           Stanford testing Pfizer vaccine in babies and young children (mercurynews.com)                 NBC, I believe, showed reporter Cynthia McFadden in Uganda. There is a lake there with 50 or 150 islands in it, all  of them inhabited. The Covid team arrived at one island with 40 or 60 doses of vaccine. Just horrible. We could take a  "Let 'em hang" approach to places like that, but if we do, the virus will keep spreading and mutating, producing those  "variants of concern", the  VOCs. These then move around the world in those big, shiny Al tubes called jetliners, and they  all land here sooner or later. So when you look at India and Brazil, and even Germany and France, this wild‐eyed push to  open everything up in California just looks stupid. We cannot be safe until billions of more people outside of the US are  fully vaccinated.                  Tonight Pfizer says we will need a third shot of its vaccine six to twelve months after we were fully vaccinated  with it. They are tweaking it to deal with the new South African variant. It really looks like we'll be getting booster shots  every autumn for a few years.   BTW, Dr. Campbell said months ago that your antibodies fade after some months, but  your T‐Cells and B‐cells and natural killer cells remain to fight the virus. These vaccines mobilize the entire immune  system.                   L. William Harding           Fresno, Ca.  96 Baumb,

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.    FYI:             4/14/21   Dear Assistant Chief Andrew Binder.    Directly below is the rough draft of a guest opinion I wrote for the Daily News ( Dave Price paper at the time) that was ultimately published back on Tuesday Jan 18, 2005. The piece was eventfully titled: Coerced Confessions still likely    The Jorge Hernandez case became national news including a feature piece on 60 minutes.     http://www.talkleft.com/story/2004/02/27/313/52110/innocencecases /60-Minutes-to-Feature-False-Confessions     Below my letter are a few questions I’d like to ask you and also ask that the questions be considered a California Public Records Request.  Okay, look forward to talking to you when your time permits.     Best regards,   Aram James    415-370-5056      Coerced Confessions still likely (by Aram James Jan 18, 2005, The Daily News)      The most troubling issue to be raised by your recent editorial (City settles suit but doesn’t fix problem, Dec, 20, 04, on the settlement in the Jorge Hernandez case is that neither Lynne Johnson or Detective Natasha Powers see anything wrong with the way in which the interrogation process that led to a coerced 100 false confession was carried out. Such statements send a clear message to the rank and file PAPD officer –act in an overzealous fashion and we will support your actions regardless.    Chief Lynne Johnson was quoted as saying" “We didn’t issue an apology because we didn’t do anything wrong,” (Palo Alto Daily News Dec 21, 04), and Detective Natasha Powers who actually conducted the interrogation leading to the coerced false confession by Mr. Hernandez, said of the settlement “It certainly isn’t going to change how I do my job,” (San Jose Mercury News Dec 18, 04).    Chief Johnson and Detective Powers’ mind set, one of defiance and unwillingness to acknowledge the overzealous and misleading interrogation process used in the Hernandez case, carries with it the strong likelihood of future wrongful convictions directly related to the use of unreliable confession evidence extracted by members of the PAPD.     Contrary to public perception, wrongful convictions resulting from false confessions are more common than normally acknowledged. . Of sixty- two individuals in the United States who had been wrongfully convicted and ultimately exonerated by DNA testing 15 had falsely confessed to the crime, (Actual Innocence, Scheck et al. 2000).    But for the fortuitous circumstance that the real perpetrator of this horrendous crime, rape and beating of a 94 year old woman, left DNA at the crime scene, Mr. Hernandez, given the strong impact confessions have on juries, would likely have been wrongly convicted of these charges and would currently be spending the balance of his life in prison.     Given the cavalier comments by Chief Johnson and Detective Powers regarding their belief that they did nothing wrong, it seems unlikely that training and reforms geared at changing the interrogation process that resulted in the false confession in the Hernandez case will occur in the PAPD any time soon if the decision for change is left to Chief Johnson.    Future money judgments against the city should be incentive enough for immediate reform in the interrogation process. But more importantly, the likelihood of wrongful convictions of the innocent, if the current interrogation practice is allowed to 101 stand, should trigger sufficient citizen outrage to demand that change take place immediately.    The research in the field of wrongful confessions strongly suggests that once there is a confession attributed to a suspect everyone in the criminal justice system, the defense attorney, district attorney and judge etc, assumes the guilt of suspect and close scrutiny of the case, including testing and or investigating of the reliability of the confession ceases. Where the courts, public defenders and DA’s are burdened with heavy caseloads the situation is only exacerbated.    Once the confession is recorded the focus of all the players in the system most often becomes pressuring the defendant to plead guilty. In the case of a false confession the defendant frequently becomes the victim of both a coerced/false confession and a coerced plea of guilty.     The numbers of individuals who are the victims of both false confessions and subsequent pleas to charges they are not guilty of are much larger than commonly understood. Without immediate reform to the police practices that lead to false confessions the cycle of injustice will remain unabated except for the rare case like Jorge Hernandez where irrefutable evidence of its falsehood exists.     Simply agreeing to tape the entire interrogation (which the PAPD has apparently now agreed to do) is an insufficient safeguard against coerced false confessions. Without an end to interrogation tactics based on lies and deceit there is no guarantee that a false confession will be uncovered. It is not enough to tape the entire interrogation; the use of lies, trickery and deceit as routine police practice in extracting confessions must be outlawed.     April 14, 2021     California Public Records Request     To: Andrew Binder, Liza Scheff, Molly Stump, Beth Minor ( Please consider the below questions a California Public Records Request)     From: Aram James     Re: Current interrogation tactics of the PAPD  102   1.

The police have an abominable record when it comes to responding to mental health issues, yet for no reason whatsoever most cities -- including Palo Alto -- dispatch the police in response to mental health emergencies. Kyle Hart's death was avoidable. For decades we have known that mental health professionals, not armed police officers, are the only safe responders to mental health emergencies, as well as to domestic violence. When armed officers enter these situations, more times than not, their methods escalate rather than deescalate the crises. The police apparently is aware of this problem, yet still cities send them in to respond to situations that far too often lead to the death of innocent fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, neighbors, and friends. 104 Palo Alto has the opportunity to change this with our PAPD. Join me in urging the Palo Alto City Council to take armed officers off responding to mental health calls, replacing them instead with trained volunteers or - better - paid social workers and mental health professionals. (They also should be taken off traffic enforcement. Why does an enforcer need to be armed with a gun when they arrest a driver for speeding?) I am disappointed and saddened that Redwood City did not do better for the Hart Family. I wish Ms. Hart all of the success in recovering justice from Redwood City. I say this even though I know that no amount of money will bring back her husband -- a man who would be alive today if not for the horrific violence of an armed police force that killed a man who only sought their help to live. On behalf of the Hart family, I hope we can work together to ensure that no other human being has to suffer this tragic, avoidable fate -- and that no other family needs to be torn apart by trigger-heavy officers whose only strategy entails shooting to kill.    Rebecca L.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  TEACHER/STAFF HOUSING (231 Grant, Palo Alto): Comments for Community Meeting 4/14/21 I am Gail Price. I am speaking as a former School Board and City Council Member, parent, and Palo Alto resident. In our family, my youngest son, a Gunn graduate, was a middle school teacher in the area and earlier completed a part of his student teaching at Fletcher. However, due to housing costs and seeking more opportunities, he and his fiancée moved to Portland. I strongly support this housing project which is a signature partnership among PAUSD and various school districts, the County, and the City. Thank you to Supervisor Simitian who sponsored and promoted this idea. The project and site design are exemplary. It provides much needed housing adjacent to commercial, retail, office, and abundant transit services, including Caltrain. In Palo Alto, we have an enduring tradition of valuing education and passing various measures and bonds to support schools. A key factor is the commitment and expertise of the PAUSD staff and administrators. We have a fine record of recruiting staff but the problem is retaining them. After receiving in-service professional training many can’t afford to live here. PAUSD employees and other educators would greatly benefit from this housing. They would not have to endure additional financial pressures and the stress of long commutes and challenging schedules. Also, there are public health and environmental benefits having homes closer to jobs. The growing housing shortage has been discussed for many decades; now is a chance to do something positive. As a community, let’s celebrate this accomplishment as an important way to support staff and as an example of how this can be done. Thank you.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Most sensible people are wary about “GMO,” even in food. Now we’re going to genetically modify ourselves? Why? What madness is this? 1. Why I Won’t Take the J&J Vaccine — a Scientist’s Perspective Ken Biegeleisen, M.D., Ph.D., explains why he believes Johnson & Johnson cannot guarantee its COVID vaccine won’t alter your genetic code. By Ken Biegeleisen, M.D., Ph.D.  (This article was written before the US health officials paused giving J&J shots after some receivers developed rare blood clots.) ''this experiment going on right now is the biological equivalent of a drunk driver, speeding down the highway at 60 mph —at night without headlights. . .'' Everyone is talking about DNA/RNA vaccines. Can they alter our own genetic codes? The vaccine lobby says “Never!.” I, however —laboring beneath the weight of a Ph.D. in virology — would instead quote Gilbert and Sullivan: “Well, hardly ever.” Most people don’t know very much about DNA or RNA, so I’ll start with a 30-second chemistry discussion. DNA and RNA are both polymers, long strings (in this case, very long strings) composed of seemingly endless repetitions of a single basic chemical building block, called a nucleotide. The resulting structure is often likened to a string of pearls, or to the rungs of a very, very long ladder. A single human cell contains some 6 billion nucleotide building blocks in its chromosomes. (the article explains his knowledge about DNA/RNA functions in length... see childrenshealthdefense.org for complete article) Conclusion:  . . . . we’re all being pressured into taking hastily prepared genetic vaccines, which are likely to transform our heredity, permanently. Is there any reason for this, other than countless billions of dollars in windfall profits? 112 It is my view that the massive and barely studied global human genetic experiment going on right now is the biological equivalent of a drunk driver, speeding down the highway with impunity at 60 mph — at night without headlights — because he says that “he knows the road.” Most sensible people are wary about “GMO,” even in food. Now we’re going to genetically modify ourselves? Why?

A new study by Israeli researchers found that a South African variant of COVID may put people who have been vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at higher risk of breakthrough infection compared to unvaccinated people.T The study, released April 10, reviewed the positive COVID-19 test results of 800 people — 400 people who tested positive for COVID 14 days or more after they received one or two doses of the Pfizer vaccine against 400 unvaccinated people to see if those vaccinated were more likely to be infected with the UK or South African variant compared with unvaccinated individuals. But among patients who had received two doses of the vaccine, the variant’s prevalence rate was eight times higher than in those unvaccinated — 5.4% versus 0.7%, Reuters reported.“Based on patterns in the general population, we would have expected just one case of the variant, but we saw eight,” Stern told The Times of Israel. “Obviously, this result didn’t make me happy.” From childrenshealthdefense.org Condensed and forwarded by Arlene Goetze, MA, writer/editor, No Toxins for Children or Adults. 113 Baumb, Nelly From:Maurizio Gianola <maurizio.gianola@gmail.com> Sent:Wednesday, April 14, 2021 12:05 PM To:UTL-Customer Service Cc:City Mgr; Council, City; Maurizio Gianola Subject:Palo Alto Power Outages !

Dear Mayor DuBois, Vice Mayor Burt, and City Council Members, In reviewing the Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) Update Report tonight, you may be tempted, in light of the economic toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on our community, to abandon, diminish, or delay the goal of reducing our “greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 (the ‘80 x 30’ goal),” Staff Report: 1, to pursue that goal halfheartedly, or to constrain the policy tools that could be adopted to meet that goal. I urge you to re-affirm the “80 x 30” goal, to direct City Staff to develop an aggressive plan to meet that goal, and to adopt a municipal carbon tax. 1. Climate-related problems are worse than ever and must be confronted now. • Even if we completely set aside moral considerations and our ethical responsibilities to both future generations and people in less developed parts of the world, the calamitous costs of global warming caused by droughts, storms, and sea level rise, among other things, are not falling but rising dramatically at accelerating rates. • Climate-propelled wildfires burn closer and closer to our doorsteps each year, while smoke and noxious particulates fill local skies more frequently and densely. • Our local abilities to mitigate and to adapt to anthropogenic global warming are being degraded as our infrastructure, especially our electrical system, deteriorates. Global warming will affect not only future generations but also the living, especially those in poor health. Patients suffering from long-term COVID-19 infections, asthma, and other respiratory diseases will face special challenges as climate patterns worsen, wildfires burn more forests, and air quality is compromised. 1 See the agenda for the Meeting of the City Council: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/agendas-minutes-reports/agendas-minutes/city-council-agendas- minutes/2021/04-19-21-ccm-agenda.pdf 2 See the Staff Report, “Summary Title: S/CAP Report” (“Staff Report”): https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/agendas-minutes-reports/reports/city-manager-reports- cmrs/current-year/2021/id-12009.pdf 2 2. We should act immediately to mitigate GHG emissions, to adopt aggressive adaptation and resilience measures, and to raise capital to fund these programs. • For years the City Council has re-affirmed its commitment to addressing global warming, and it is one of the City Council’s four priorities for calendar year 2021. Staff Report: 1. • Palo Alto’s residential electricity prices remain relatively low in comparison to PG&E’s. • GHGs linger for decades if not centuries. The sooner we act, the more the community will reduce its cumulative GHG pollution, and the greater the benefits. • We can leverage growing market demand for sustainable products and services. • We should secure ample financing to pay for mitigation, adaptation, and resiliency measures now. Municipal borrowing costs remain near historic lows. We do not know how long favorable fiscal conditions will continue, nor how much capital we will ultimately need, particularly for adaptation to rising sea levels and forest fire resiliency. 3. We should act decisively now to mitigate GHG emissions and to adopt adaptation and resiliency measures. • The best short-term approaches will likely include: o meaningful (>75%) subsidies, including installation costs, for specific residential appliance conversions, such as residential water heater conversions, and electric panel upgrades; o raising electricity and natural gas prices (which would act as a partial municipal carbon tax) to promote conservation, to fund new electric infrastructure, and to create partially offsetting rebates for low-income residential consumers; o ending discriminatory new service, tiering, metering, and connection policies that penalize citizens in ADUs and JADUs and discourage creation of more housing; o eliminating transformer replacement costs or other distribution charges associated with residential 100% electrification projects; o better detection and control of fugitive methane emissions; o increasing more and more affordable housing in Palo Alto, especially ADUs, and o vastly improving safe pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. • Optimal medium-term approaches will likely include a municipal carbon tax, limiting natural gas infrastructure, and a broader and more comprehensive assessment of Palo Alto’s actual GHG emissions, such as additional forms of commercial and residential consumption, e.g., food, durables and non-durables, and travel, especially air travel. • Our quick, decisive, and aggressive action will set a far better example for other communities throughout the world, thereby magnifying the positive impacts of our work. Palo Alto’s progress in meeting its S/CAP goals has plateaued in recent years while science has conclusively demonstrated and more particularly identified that the increasing dire consequences of GHG pollution. We cannot wait. We must act. I urge you to re-affirm the “80 x 30” goal, to direct City Staff to develop an aggressive plan to meet that goal, and to adopt a municipal carbon tax, among other policies.
