San Alma community CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear Palo Alto City Council Members,   I am a member of the San Alma Home Owner’s Association in Palo Alto. Our community presented a petition (appended below) to the Council on Monday, November 18, 2019. I am writing to show my support of their petition for the City to enforce the Municipal Code 10.36.030 that mandates all parked vehicles move every 72 hours and install “No overnight parking signs” along San Antonio between Alma Street and Briarwood Way. Please keep me informed of any updates regarding this issue. Sincerely, Pascal Renauld  145 Hemlock Ct  November 14th, 2019 To: Palo Alto City Manager and Council From: Residents of San Alma HOA and neighbors Petition We, the 75+ residents of the San Alma HOA and surrounding neighborhoods, are submitting this petition to request that the City of Palo Alto:  Enforce Municipal Code 10.36.030 that mandates all parked vehicles move every 72 hours;  Install “No RV Parking” signs along San Antonio Ave between Alma St and Briarwood Way;  Extend the “No Parking From Here to Corner” zone along the west side of San Antonio Ave between Alma St and Ponce Dr to improve sight lines, and refresh red-color curbs and install additional signs;  Create bike lanes on both sides of the San Antonio Ave between Alma St and Briarwood Way to improve bike and pedestrian safety; 2  Consider installing “No Parking” signs on designated days and times of the week, to allow a sweeping vehicle to clean pavement and remove trash from both sides of San Antonio Ave. In the last few years the short stretch of San Antonio Ave between Alma St and Briarwood Way has experienced a sharp increase in traffic, littering, and illegal dumping including human waste. The increase in commuter traffic, parking for the train station, ‘Waymo’ car tests, heavy construction trucks, and special equipment have all contributed to these conditions. This entire stretch of San Antonio Ave is always full of RVs and cars used as sleeping accommodations; there are frequently abandoned vehicles as well, and often used for storage of construction equipment. The oversized vehicles parked along this street block visibility when exiting Ponce Drive, especially concerning because this stretch of San Antonio Ave is very busy with bicyclists and pedestrians traveling to and from the Caltrain station. It is currently very hazardous for bicycles and pedestrians: bicyclists are forced onto the sidewalk for safety, jeopardizing the pedestrians and creating hazardous driving conditions for vehicles. We have also observed that the fire hydrant is blocked which causes even more of a safety concern for the residents in the area. It has been often observed that frequent lack of parking provokes fire hydrant blocking violations that is once more an extreme hazard jeopardizing safety of San Alma community. There is a large amount of trash along both sides of San Antonio Ave because the individuals residing in RVs leave bagged trash directly on the street or in nearby areas. The area on the east side of San Antonio Ave is used as a bathroom and human fecal matter and other trash has been observed; the residents of the homes behind these walls have complained of strong human waste odors often coming from San Antonio Ave. The parked RVs and other vehicles prevent the sweeping truck from cleaning the streets. All of these bio- hazardous conditions are creating an area that is unsanitary and unsafe for the community in general and for the quality of life of our residents in particular. When the weather gets colder, the RVs and other vehicles that are used as living accommodations run generators for heat, which pollutes the air and creates loud sounds which violate city noise ordinances. This has been a problem for our community for several years, and many of our residents have filed numerous reports. Despite our efforts, there are several RVs that are here many days and weeks with no discernible movement. One particular RV has been parking here for over three years. This lack of enforcement has attracted more RVs and cars that are used as residences. We ask for code enforcement and “No Overnight Parking” signs placement for safety, security and sanitation reasons. Our Residents require a safe and sanitary neighborhood to be maintained for all. Moreover, we urge the Palo Alto City Council to adopt an ordinance prohibiting overnight parking of RVs, trailers, oversized vehicles, and special equipment within at least 100 feet from any residential property line. We understand that many individuals and their families have circumstances causing them to reside in RV’s and other vehicles. While we empathize with these individuals, we request the City of Palo Alto take immediate actions to protect our residents by enforcing the municipal codes and increasing signage. We are aware of measures taken by the City in other locations, and we request the same consideration from the City. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the residents of the San Alma HOA and surrounding neighborhood.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear Mayor and members of Palo Alto City Council:  I sent you a letter via email November 6, but I haven’t seen it in any public packet – I am hoping the letter I emailed on  the 6th got to you, but if it got lost, I want to reiterate that I am strongly against the viaduct option, and in favor of the  Churchill closure option. My house sits virtually on the Caltrain track – it is closer to the tracks than any house on  Mariposa. I have been to several meetings in which various plans are described in great detail, with videos and charts  and maps. Most do not show my house being taken, but common sense says that all options would involve my house  being taken, even the Churchill closure. Any construction at the intersection is going to require space to build – common  sense says the construction  equipment would end up where my house now stands. And yet there has been no honest  discussion of this. I ask that any discussion of Churchill Ave. crossing options include an honest discussion of property  loss to home owners, including the need for space during the construction phase. The City and the planners have to  include construction space requirements in their planning, and have to be honest with the neighbors along Mariposa,  who will be most affected.     The Viaduct option will not only take my house (even though no plans will admit that), it will also loom over all the  houses along Mariposa. The noise and vibration of passenger and freight trains over our houses will increase – any noise  blocking wall will be a blight. The thought of a train going right over our houses on Mariposa is inconceivable.     We in Southgate are prisoners of the indecision and incomplete engineering analysis. The longer we are in limbo, the  more our house values go down. We can’t leave because who would buy a house on the corner of Churchill and  Mariposa not knowing how it will be impacted.  By the time the city admits our property will have to be taken, the value  of our property will be further diminished. Most of us on Mariposa understand the impact any plan will have on our  properties. The worst part of this is not knowing. It would be better if the city just took our property now, giving us a fair  market price for properties at the current value.    I appreciate your consideration of these undiscussed issues (the taking of property to accommodate construction; the  impact of the viaduct on quality of life of home owners on Mariposa; and the impact on property values while no clear  decision is made.    Sincerely,  Phyllis Kayten and Steve Weinstein  96 Churchill Ave. Palo Alto, CA 94306        1 Brettle, Jessica From:Loran Harding <loran.harding@stanfordalumni.org> Sent:Monday, November 25, 2019 12:05 PM To:kerri.donis@fresno.gov; fire-construction@fresno.gov; Mayor; Mark Standriff; esmeralda.soria@fresno.gov; paul.caprioglio; dennisbalakian; David Balakian; Dan Richard; Daniel Zack; Council, City; huidentalsanmateo; Joel Stiner; beachrides; Mark Kreutzer; margaret- sasaki@live.com; bballpod; hennessy; shanhui.fan@stanford.edu; yicui@stanford.edu; mthibodeaux@electriclaboratories.com; midge@thebarretts.com; info@superide1.com; becerra.bere11@gmail.com; Cathy Lewis; diffenbaugh@stanford.edu; fmbeyerlein@sbcglobal.net; Raymond Rivas; Chris Field; grinellelake@yahoo.com; steve.hogg; jerry ruopoli; Jason Tarvin; kfsndesk; newsdesk; kwalsh@kmaxtv.com; Kirk Sorensen; kclark; leager; Leodies Buchanan; Loran Harding; Mark Waldrep; nick yovino; pavenjitdhillon@yahoo.com; popoff; robert.andersen; Steve Wayte; Steven Feinstein; terry; vallesR1969@att.net; Doug Vagim Subject:Fwd: DW "Clean Air- A Human Right".

To: Loran Harding <loran.harding@stanfordalumni.org>                Sun. Nov. 3, 2019                To all‐   Important.                Last night DW ran this documentary on air pollution, "Clean Air, A Human Right". They have bad air  pollution in Deutschland, as do many parts of the U.S. The air in the Central Valley of California is often  terrible, especially when wildfires are putting smoke in here. I have been emailing about our breathing  wildfire smoke for months every year (I am in Fresno, Ca.) and so this documentary on DW caught my  attention. It deals with particulate matter from cattle production, power plants, woodfires, vehicle  emissions, brake and tire wear in Germany. In Fresno, we get it from engines, tires and brakes, people  burning their fireplaces, farmers burning ag waste, ammonia from cattle manure reacting with NOX  from vehicle emissions,  AND,  for sure, from the huge wildfires which the authorities cannot fight very  effectively at present. Climate change has come on fast with 129 million dead trees in the Sierra, dry  trees and brush, low humidty and high winds. Gov. Newsom seems stunned by it all. He's had 100  National Guardsmen trimming brush during 2019 (not 1,000). He has authorized more fire fighting rigs  and teams, and CalFire has received the first of seven C‐130s repurposed as tankers, with 4,000 gal.  capacity each. The one 747 "Global Super Tanker" available to rent drops 19,000 gal per pass. It is  privately owned in Colorado. I want 50 of those for CalFire. They could form a national fire fighting fleet,  available for the entire U.S. They might cost $5 billion total to buy and convert but Trump and Congress  will spend $738 billion this year to defend poverty‐stricken Germany, Japan, S. Korea, all of poverty‐ stricken Europe, and the rest of the world. "Those poor people. We defeated them in WWII and ruined  their countries 75 years ago (and then we re‐built them)". And their commitment to the American  people:  "Let 'em hang". "We can always balance the books on the backs of the ignorant, non‐voting  American people". I keep urging them all to read history.                Here is the DW documentary on air pollution. 42:36.               https://www.dw.com/en/clean‐air‐a‐human‐right/av‐48647373               One weather‐man in Fresno likes to encourage people to burn. "No restrictions on burning  tonight" he says with a big smile. "Burning only with registered devices" he said last night for some  counties here.                 It should be criminal conduct to burn a fireplace in California's Central Valley at any time.  Sometimes on winter nights I walk down to the mailbox and the air is thick with chimney smoke. The  San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District is just killing people here. AND THEN, they do zero  monitoring of the air at the neighborhood level. You don't see trucks with sensors or lasers or something  coming down the street on heavily polluted nights. Apparently no enforcement of the no‐burn rules,  when they are in place. No fines. The morons who just have to have a roaring fire 200 nights per year  just ignore the rules and damage their neighbors health. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control  District should be heavily penalized by the State and feds for failing to enforce its no‐burn rules if they  law says they should enforce them. If they go out and fine fireplace polluters, they should say so. Let's  see the records. Do these Air Pollution Control Districts in California have the legal authority to fine  residents burning on no‐burn nights? If not, they should have.                How to detect chimney violators? The police helicopter is in the sky over Fresno every night. Infra‐ red cameras on it would surely pick up heat coming from a chimney. GPS would tell them where the  9 offending home is. Since they can see heat emitted by a person on the ground, why not from a hot  chimney? If we need a No‐burn monitoring helicopter to do this, it should be obtained. It seems to me  that with the police helicopter flying around Fresno every night recording infra‐red images and GPS  data, the air pollution authorities should be able to determine from that who is burning their fireplace  on no‐burn nights.                 Child's play for Silicon Valley:  A helicopter‐mounted infra‐red camera which stamps the date and  time and the GPS location on images of residential neighborhoods. The exact location of the hot  chimney could be determined: GPS co‐ordinates of the helicopter, altitude of the hilo, angle down to the  house, get GPS co‐ordinates of the house.  With that recorded data, the air pollution control district  coud go out and cite the offender. There is no excuse for not fining people burning on no‐burn nights.  Go 37 mph in a 35 mile‐zone in Fresno and the Fresno PD will issue you an expensive ticket.                This documentary deals with air pollution in Germany from coal‐fired and other power plants,  from industry, from vehicle emissions, from tire and brake wear, from wood burning in homes and in  fields, and from industrial farming‐ i.e. from cows. Nothing about smoke from wildfires, but we know  that it is a serious health hazard if inhaled, and how do you avoid inhaling it? Since California will not  obtain the 50  747 retardant tankers I want, we can all keep breathing wildfire smoke. Those 747s could  suppress wildfires much better than the little planes and hilos they use now.                     Here is the one available 747‐400 Global Supertanker in Nov. 2018. Here it was dropping on the  remnants of the Camp Fire in 2018. 19,200 gal. per drop.               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW0XQI525UE               Here is more vid. showing the plane:  The audio starts here at 38 seconds:                           https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygXto9jdQP0                          Governor Newsom is still asleep at the switch. Because he has been, he keeps blaming the wildfires  on 100 years of negligence by PG&E in maintaining their electric infrastructure, but climate change has  come on with a vengeance in recent years, and that is the root cause of these horrific wildfires in  California. There are 129 million dead trees just in the Sierra, killed largely by a five year drought, and  they burn great. More elsewhere in the State. Kindling‐dry trees and brush, and then 80 mph off‐shore  winds make for disastrous wildfires. Gov. Newsom has had 100 National Guardsmen trimming brush  since he took office earlier this year. I wrote this in the AM today. Tonight the ABC network news  reported that Trump is excoriating Newsom for his "terrible forest management practices". He is  threatening to cut off money to Calif. to deal with the wildfires. I'm not sure I follow his logic there.  Trump knows he did not and will not carry California, so, "Let them hang", I guess. A let 'em hang  attitude to 40 million Americans should produce a strong reaction, and strong revulsion, by most  Americans. Trump is telling Californians that he is damaging their health and that they can all go to hell.  I'm really starting to warm to Trump.               KCBS‐SF  said the following in the past few days:  These fires are not all forest fires. Brush is more  involved in the Kincaid fire in Sonoma Co. than are trees. A CalFire expert said that that fire was "un‐ fightable" for much of the time. "You try to start back‐fires or cut fire lines, but those are not effective in  such a fast moving fire". It is 80% contained by Nov. 4, 2019. The issues are heat, low humidity, dry  vegetation, and then 60‐80 mph winds. He said that the Kincaid fire was a wind‐driven fire.                It is common knowledge and oft repeated that huge amounts of fuel have been allowed to  accumulate in the forests over 100 years. We have jumped on every small fire and put them out. Now  10 we pay the price with higher temps, lower humidity and high winds, and especially with 129 million  dead trees in the Sierra. Maybe that is what Trump meant about forest management practices‐ letting  all of that fuel accumulate. Hard to lay 100 years of that on Newsom.             Since entering office, Newsom has had 100 Guardsmen trimming brush in Orinda, Los Gatos and  Woodside, Ca., KCBS said. He has authorized new, additional fire‐fighting apparatus and crews. He and  Gov. Swarzenegger received at a ceremony the first of the seven C‐130s that Diane Feinstein obtained  for CalFire from the Coast Guard. These have a 4,000 gal. capacity.              Last night the news showed many video cameras that have been installed in the wilds of Calif. to  detect fires at their outset. I recommended a year ago that devices including video cameras,  thermometers, smoke detectors, and wind and humidity measuring devices be placed all over California  in fire‐prone areas. PG&E has been installing weather stations. Probably about what I have suggested.  We need lots of those. The PUC should order them installed.                So, KCBS asked, "What can be done, given the limited resources California has". "Clear a  defensible space around your home and have a go‐bag ready", were the answers.    .            Trump could provide the $5 billion needed to buy and convert 50 747s to tanker duty by an  executive order, but we will spend $738 billion this f.y., to defend the entire world. He won't lift a finger  to help California with these fires, and Californians should respond in kind, sort of. We should not be  defending Germany and Japan, the two richest countries after the U.S. See vids of Germany and Japan.  Happy, relaxed, prosperous people with high speed rail and magnificent national health care. If anyone  threatens them, they just call the White House.                 Robert Reich was interviewed the other night. He and others are saying that PG&E has put profits  ahead of safety in not making their infrastructure more resistant to failure. What those making that  argument fail to recognize is that climate change has come on fast, faster than anyone expected. Rising  sea levels by 2100 was the thought, not vast areas of dead trees and brush, and higher termperatures  and lower humidity. That is important. It has happened faster than anyone expected and it will keep  getting worse. PG&E is heavily regulated by the California PUC. Where were they in ordering PG&E to  harden its electric infrastructure in past decades? Let's see the transcripts of their meetings where that  was often considered and voted upon. I think that PG&E has been a good utility, and has served  California well. There is plenty of blame to go around for not preparing earlier for climate change.             I lived in Santa Clara, Calif. from 1995 to 2000. That city operates a municipal electric utility, and the  rates were dirt cheap. Turbines and generators‐ Santa Clara makes its own e‐. Perhaps in any  consideration of making PG&E a customer‐owned or publicly‐owned utility operated by the State or  municipalities, the people who run the Santa Clara, Ca. electric utility should be consulted as to how  they do it. Would the State of California or 58 counties really run PG&E better than it is run now? Maybe  we should reform the Calif. PUC first. I have heard that they can be unduly influenced.                This DW documentary covers the chemistry of air pollution better than any others I have  seen.   Note the pathologist near the start at Cologne (Koln) University Hospital, Dr. Marcus Rothschild,  examining a human lung. Note the black spots on the lung from the 50 year‐old non‐smoking victim  having inhaled PM 2.5 particles. Rothschild says that inhaling these particles over time "can lead to  fibrosis in the lungs and to anthracosis" (black lung). "Fibrosis results from chronic inflammation caused  by particulate matter entering the alvioli. It is a proliferation of connective tissue which results in  reduced elasticity of the lung. The patient experiences shortness of breath, a hunger for air that is not  curable". Does having that sound alright for you and yours? Note again that it is not curable.     11                Munchen, Stuttgart, Koln‐ terrible air. Ich war in Koln in 1973, und die Luft scheint OK, aber jetzt  ich weiss dass es war gefahrlich. Note all of the NOX from diesel engines in the documentary. This reacts  with ammonia in the air to produce particulate matter. Diesel powered cars can now be retrofitted to  reduce the nitrous oxide emissions. No wonder VW got into some emissions cheating. They are  discussing a ban on diesel cars in some cities in Germany. I wonder if the retrofit technology shown  should be required for older diesel cars in California. Does California currently require that new diesel  vehicles sold here be a lot cleaner than the diesels sold in Germany? Hard to believe that we do. In  Germany, some diesel manufacturers are going to pay 80% of the cost of retrofits for their cars in some  cities. Technology now permits reducing both NOX and particulate emmissions from cars. It used to be  one or the other.                Germany is one thing, but see in the documentary the situation in India. Horrific air pollution. It  has even made the network news here in the past few nights‐ pollution in Delhi. People use coal‐fired  irons to iron clothes and wood stoves to cook in India. Farmers burn stubble. In Germany, more and  more people are using wood stoves for heat.                Be it wood stoves in India and Germany or brush and forest fires in California, or morons in Fresno  burning their fireplaces, it is the burning of wood, the impact of cattle, combined with pollution from  vehicles that puts much of our horrific pollution into the air. Remember CBS's Dr. John LaPook's  statement about a year ago: "Smoke from wildfires contains thousands of compounds". That would be  true especially when towns are being burned with their cadmium, mercury, lead and other heavy  metals, their asbestos, acids, pesticides and herbicides, paint, plastics, building materials, tires,  petroleum, fertilizers and other organic materials. And we are breathing that!              Atmete ein und atmete aus. Breath in and out. It's a tough habit to give up.             Now some passages from the DW documentary that really caught my attention. Note these as you  watch it again:              1)  Particulate matter is:  PM 10  10 microns in dia.                                                     PM 2.5 microns and less.                                                     PM 0.1 really fine particles.                       The small particles pass through the lungs and get into the bloodstream, the documentary  says. They impact the immune system. They inflame and block arteries and cause heart attacks and  strokes. They can cause asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia. They can cause fibrosis in the lungs and  anthracosis (black lung). Note Dr. Marcus Rothschild at University Hospitall in Koln showing us a lung  covered with black spots. I notice that all of this medical horror from breathing polluted air is not  prominently discussed in California by elected officials, by the California Air Resources Board, by the  local air polution control districts, like the one in the San Joaquin Valley, and certainly not by local TV  news in the Central Valley. Mum's the word. Governor Newsom is not all over TV during these weeks‐ long wildfires detailing all of this for the people of Calfornia. He does not appear with a pathologist like  Dr. Rothschild in Koln, or pathologists and pulmonologists from Stanford and UCSF, e.g., who could raise  the alarm as to what air pollution, and especially wildfire smoke, is doing to us. That's what Newsom  should be doing. He's asleep at the switch on getting the 747 tankers, and he's AWOL on raising the  alarm about the health impact of breathing wildfire smoke. He has the health experts at his disposal.                       WRT traffic, REGARDING TRAFFIC, in Germany, 63%  of PRIMARY particulate matter is from  brakes and tires. 37% is from engines. Surprising, no? Read on, though, to see what the NOX from  12 engines does when it reacts chemically in the atmosphere with ammonia from cattle manure. It creates  secondary particulate matter.                      Coal‐fired power plants are essentially banned in Germany, but wood‐fueled heating systems  are a problem, especially in rural areas. In the Central Valley, we have ag waste being burned and all of  those fireplaces burning here, and now horrific weeks‐long wildfires every year in California.                      Ag waste burning in California:                     It is regulated, but is allowed. It has increased in recent years, but we have had a big  improvement since ~2003: However, with the new, added burden of smoke from huge wildfires, I  wonder if any ag burning should be allowed in California at this point.                       https://www.kvpr.org/post/despite‐tight‐restrictions‐open‐ag‐burning‐increases‐valley                                         See at 20:15 the graph showing particulate matter from engines v. wood stoves in Germany.  The lines have crossed and wood stoves (and fireplaces and wildfires in California, probably) now out‐ produce engines as a source. Wood burning in Germany has now even equaled the particulate matter  produced by engines, tires and brakes, i.e. total traffic sources.                       So the burning of wood is a huge source of particulate pollution. Fireplaces in California, ag  burning, and now the endless wildfires here.                                       PM 2.5 in Germany:  20% from wood stoves.                                                      26% from power plants                                                      19% from traffic                                                        5% from agriculture                           Those are the numbers from the German Environmental Agency, but Jos Lelieveld, Prof. of  Atmospheric Physics at the Max Planck Instute for Chemistry, disagrees. He says these numbers only  reflect direct emissions. Another culprit is livestock which are also responsible for particulate matter.                            He says that primary particulate matter is from engines, stoves and tires and brakes  decomposing into smaller particles.                             IMPORTANT:   But secondary particulate matter is formed by chemical processes in the air.  Ammonia from cattle manure combines with nitrogen oxides from engines  to form particulate  molecules which can enter the alvioli and bloodstream.  70% OF FINE PARTICULATE MATTER IS FORMED  CHEMICALLY IN THE ATMOSPHERE, NOT RELEASED AS DUST, he says.  40% of fine particulate matter in  Germany is from agriculture, above all from factory farming‐ raising cattle. California's Central Valley is  dairy‐land. Are the California Air Resources Board and the Central Valley Air Pollution Control District  addressing that source of particulate matter? Are they even aware of it? Do we need new laws to  compel them to address it?                               Ambient particulate matter from ag and woodstoves (ag and fireplaces and wildfires in  the Central Valley) is compounded in cities by traffic.                               Sixty‐five cities in Germany exceed the rules for oxides of nitrogen (NOX)  from diesel  vehicles, especially in Munchen, Stuttgart and Koln. (Munich, Stuttgart and Cologne). The most effective  way to reduce NOX emissions is to ban diesel vehicles from roads.  (28:56) in the film.  Should California  do that too?  13                            Stuttgart has banned some diesels cars‐ "Euro 4" standard diesels and older.                             Now, with new technolgy, BOTH NOX and particulate matter can be reduced from diesels.  California could upgrade older diesel vehicles with the new technology.  Euro 5 vehicles will be restricted  next as to where they can be driven in Germany.                              Compulsory hardware retrofitting?  One manufacturer will pay 80% of the cost in some  German cities. Who are the manufacturers of diesels sold in California and would they pay to retrofit  those diesels with new hardware? Should they be compelled to do so?                             Do we have the same problems with diesels in California as the Germans have with them  there?                             A joke here used to be that California's Central Valley is home to daires and prisons. The  LA basin and the Bay Area don't want vast herds of dairy cattle, so the CV gets them. Now we know that  they are an important source of particulate matter. Do the air quality authorities in California admit that  and are they addressing it? Do we need to toughen the laws to compel them to?                           I'll send this to big‐gun climate researchers at Stanford, Dr. Chris Field and Dr. Noah  Diffenbaugh. They are experts on climate change, but they would be very familiar with the impact  climate change is having on air pollution, I am sure. Climate change is making air pollution worse. I hope  they will forward this to the appropriate air quality authorities and to law‐makers. This documentary  from Germany is an eye‐opener. It shows that action is needed wrt dirty diesel vehicles in California, wrt  to dairies, wrt to law‐breakers burning their fireplaces on no‐burn nights, wrt to ag burning, and wrt to  the damage that the endless wildfires in California are doing to our health.                           The response by public officials in California and at the federal level to these endless  wildfires is inadequate. The Governor has 100 Guardsmen trimming brush and Diane Feinstein obtains  seven old C‐130s for Calfire. The federal government lavishes $738 billion on all of Europe, Japan, S.  Korea to defend and enrich them and won't lift a finger to help California with these fires. Trump last  week threatened to cut off federal money to deal with the fires here because he hates the Governor.  Last week the U.S. completed its pull‐out from the Paris Climate Accords when climate change is at the  root of these fires. And, of course, Trump is pro‐coal.                           Too bad we have to hear all of this from the Germans. Public officials in California and  Washington, D.C won't raise the alarm here and won't adequately move to protect our health from  wildfires. Huge efforts and money have been expended over 50 years to address air pollution, especially  in California, but further action is needed. Ag burning, ammonia from cattle combining with NOX to form  particulate matter, NOX and particulate matter from older diesels, illegal fireplace burning, particulates  from brakes, all need further attention. The efforts to address all air pollution are now being subverted  by these annual wildfires. A modest $5 billion to procure 50  747 super‐tankers to fight the wildfires  would be money well spent. We need a second re‐load base for them in San Bernardino County, too.                      Now some good news:                     New to me in recent days is this:   "Stanford researchers have developed a gel‐like fluid to  prevent wildfires". Article of Sept. 30, 2019. CalFire is involved in testing it and it works.  Please read this  and see the 90 second video. I think this is big news:

Santa Clara County voters strongly approved the proposition—with over 73% voting yes to increase the tax. As a result of this funding, The Santa Clara County Public Health Department (SCCPHD) has the opportunity to expand tobacco protection efforts by releasing funding to cities to support the implementation of priority tobacco prevention strategies. Through this funding, cities may address key areas within the dashboards of the SCCPHD’s Healthy Cities Project focused on promoting tobacco- free communities. Included is a current grid of tobacco control policies within each jurisdiction; to view your city’s complete 2018 Healthy Cities dashboard, visit: http://bit.ly/healthy-cities-dashboards. Tobacco use is still the number one preventable cause of death and disease in California, killing nearly 40,000 Californians every year. Tobacco use carries a hefty price tag, both in the annual cost of $689 million in the county, and immeasurable impacts on families due to preventable disease and lives lost. The 2017-2018 California Student Tobacco Survey revealed 31.6% of high school students in Santa Clara County have used e-cigarettes. These funds will allow cities to implement strategies to prevent and reduce tobacco use, and reduce exposure to secondhand smoke.   2 Santa Clara County cities have the opportunity to take advantage of these funds to create sustainable changes for the health and economic vitality of our residents. The SCCPHD has up to $200,000 available to fund cities to participate in this effort. Funding awards could range from $20,000-$50,000. The amount per city will be determined based on the proposed strategies and total number of responses from cities. As you will see in the funding application, we are providing three resource options for cities: direct grant funding, in-kind support from a consultant paid for by the County, or a hybrid of the two. The priority funding areas are listed on the Healthy Cities Program – Tobacco-Free Communities Funding Application. Activities funded through this opportunity are guaranteed through June 30, 2021. The research and best practice models for addressing these issues have already been developed, and resources such as technical assistance, community outreach, and communications strategies will be made available from Public Health staff. If your City is interested in participating in the 2020-2021 funding cycle, please observe the timeline below: Action Date Tobacco Funding Application and Budget Form completed and submitted to: bai-yun.chen@phd.sccgov.org January 31, 2020 by 5:00 pm Award Notification February 14, 2020 Scope of Work and Final Budget Negotiations and Contract Signing February 17, 2020 – April 30, 2020 Project Period May 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021 For additional information or if you have questions, please contact Don Tran at 408-817-6879 or don.tran@phd.sccgov.org.

However, the Chamber of Commerce opposes the non-renewal of the current contract with the San Mateo County/Silicon Valley Visitor and Convention Bureau unless and until the resulting impact on the Chamber of Commerce is mitigated. The Chamber of Commerce was included in the decision to become part of the TBID to provide funds to create a visitor center supporting the hotels in Palo Alto, and other venues and resources for visitors and businesses, meeting planners, conventions, and those seeking business referrals and area information. The nearly $32,000 a year that we receive from the TBID provides us the ability to be the face of the community and welcoming support for new residents, visitors, and businesses already here or weighing whether to locate in Palo Alto. We provide information and referrals, both by phone from all around the country and to walk-ins, to local points of Interest, hotels, restaurants, medical care providers, entertainment and outdoor activities, education institutions, realtors, and more. The City doesn't do this work in the day-to- day and comprehensive way that our Chamber does. It is a constant flow of inquiries and direct support for the wide variety of interests relating to our city, as well as Stanford University and the hospital systems. It began years ago with Destination Palo Alto and has become a much used and relied upon resource and asset in the community. However, without the TBID funding, we would not be able to dedicate any staff time to this. The chambers of commerce that do provide this sort of visitor and economic development support are most commonly supported by city funds [information provided by Western Association of Chamber Executives], which our Chamber does not receive but with the TBID funding, we can and do provide this service. While we were informed that there are a number of hotels that want to cancel their participation in the TBID which would end our financial support, we were not included in any discussions directly dealing with the impact on our work and funding, or how to mitigate or resolve this situation. As a stakeholder in the TBID, we would expect that no decision would be taken by the City until this is remedied. We believe our Chamber provides a unique and valuable service to our community as a visitor center and economic development partner for a small amount of financial support which would not be replaced by any current plan or source of funding. We respectfully request the City Council not recommend cancellation until these matters have been evaluated in full and a realistic plan for mitigation developed.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Council - if you are serious about finding and establishing places for housing in Palo Alto, then rezone a parcel 3300 El Camino. It is part of a parking lot and is otherwise an empty property, located across El Camino from the Fry site in Ventura Sand Hill is the owner of the lease of this site. Sand Hill has recently acquired a number of leases of sites in the Stanford Research Park. They have spent large sums to buy leases and build a number of office buildings in the Stanford Research Park, and thus are responsible for bringing huge numbers of new workers to Palo Alto, exacerbating our jobs to housing balance. Sand Hill's website suggests they are planning to build yet another office building on the 3300 El Camino site. But, just as Stanford was required to fully mitigate its expansion plans, Sand Hill must be required to build housing on its lease hold sites to mitigate all of its new office construction in Palo Alto, starting with 3300 El Camino. They are constructing a sprawling four building office campus at 1050 Page Mill Road, and two office buildings at 3251 Hanover. The latter is the former site of a Lockheed technology complex which employed 300 persons; the new buildings, leased to a financial services company, are estimated to employ 1000 persons. Two years ago they purchased CPI's lease on Hansen Way, and in a previous deal in which they acquired the lease for 3175 Hanover St (Cooley LLP), they also acquired the lease for 3300 El Camino, the parcel in the front of the former CPI office building which runs from Hansen Way all the way to the Creekside Inn. Palo Alto needs housing desperately and few sites are available and none are as attractive as 3300 El Camino, with its frontage on a road with public transit. If you are serious about housing, take action NOW to rezone the 3300 El Camino parcel from Research Park (RP) zoning to one on which housing can be built on the site. This site is exactly the type that has been the focus of SB50's proposal, which would give the State of California the authority to override local zoning codes. Your inaction will signal to California State officials in Sacramento that Palo Alto is in fact, not serious about taking action to increase housing and will give them good reason to pass legislation that will have the effect of overriding Palo Alto's zoning codes.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  To whom it may concern, Yesterday (Thursday, Nov. 21) the streets of the neighborhood where I live (Meadow Park) in south Palo Alto was supposed to be swept. But as of this morning, Friday, it still has not yet been swept. In fact, NONE OF THE STREETS in the Meadow Park, Adobe-Meadows and Charleston Gardens neighborhoods were swept yesterday (as they should have been). The street sweepers didn't sweep any streets south of East Meadow Drive and east of Middlefield Road. That's a very large area to miss. The leaves are piling up. These streets need to be swept. I've left two phone messages at the Public Services phone number listed in the City of Palo Alto phone directory for street sweeping (650-496-6974) but no one has gotten back to me with an update. I would like to know when the streets in this area of Palo Alto will be swept. If not swept by the next rain storm (scheduled for the upcoming week) our storm drains will get clogged with leaves. Please send a street sweeper today to sweep the streets of the neighborhoods they missed yesterday (all the streets south of East Meadow Drive and east of Middlefield Road). Thank you.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear City Council Members, I know the city is trying to get citizens to switch over to electric water heaters, dryers, ovens, furnaces... We installed solar panels about 15 years ago and bought an electric car three years ago. We talked to an electrician today to see what is needed to upgrade our electrical panel so we can switch out our gas appliances, and he gave us a quote of $10,000. If the city is going to be giving any incentives to citizens to switch from gas to electric, the biggest expense is probably going to be upgrading the electric panel. Have you considered waiving permit fees or giving other types of incentives? What is your thinking about this?

Avraám did not live in the Past. Where are you living?    [:;]    Sunny used her Palm of Five Fingers to Double Pat on her Amun the Right Side of the Chest the Hollow Space Side. As  Amun is Moon of Reflected Light of a Size Far Less in Magnitude than the Flaming Solar Sun while the Moon Functions  with the Stars in Diffusion whose Relative Size by their Distance is Smaller than the Moon though more Numerous.  Would the Distance of the Stars Across the Universe relate to Hidden Knowledge discovered upon Reflection? Did she  Double Pat with her Left or Right Hand? I get confused and mixed up. She had to finagle the Outer Garment to reveal the  Inner Garment of just the Amun Side of her Chest the Firmament so it could have been the Left Side. This would pertain  to the Far Right Side of the Hieroglyphic of Memphis the Circle with the Inscribed Bold X to Australia the Re‐Beginning  Pointer as if to say Australia the Baby points Backwards in Time to Gaia when the Landmass of Gaia was the Image of the  Seeing Eye as maybe a Reflection of Heaven's Vision of Earth. The Double Pat on Amun could indicate Sixty Days in the  Sense of Two Moon Cycles though the Visit was in July of 31 Days while August is also 31 Days and the Sum is 62 Days  which is like the Number of the Age of Jared's Lifespan of 962 by the Last Two Numbers. The Visit was on July 21st, 2017.  There are Ten More Days in July. Add July is 10 + 31 = 41 and 62 ‐ 41 gives the Date of September 21st and September  21st in AD 2026 will be a Monday. Erin / Siena left Starbucks on University in Seattle while saying Monday Tuesday  Wednesday after refusing to respond to me sitting next to her. If September 21st is the First Day then September 22nd is  the Second Day and Septuagint 23 will be the Third Day and September means Seven while September is the Ninth  Month and 23 is the Axial Tilt of the World. Sarrah did this prior in AD 2017 prior to Sunny's Visit and prior to the  Expulsion from the Libraries of the University of Washington at Seattle by Uniformed Police accusing Me of Antisemitism  when All I wanted was for the Library to Stop Hiding the Septuagint Translation by Thomson with Editing by Muses  though I realize now that the Approach of Muses in using the Valid Text of Codex Sinaiticus in editing the Translation by  Thomson is believed to have been the Sixtine Text whether directly from the Printing of 1587 or by the Reprint of 1665  by John Fields that was compromised with edits by John Pearson the future Bishop of Chester and the Complaint with  Muses is that his Approach was Eclectic rather than Informative of the Source Materials in Affirming or else Disagreeing  with Each Other where also and furthermore there seems to be no proofing of the Translation of the Translation by  Direct Use of the Greek Sixtine Text by the Printing of 1587 under Pope Sixtus the Fifth before the Source Material was  Quarantined 1590/1600 which if 1600 could be 3200 Years after the Birth of Jacob if Jacob was born 1600 BC with  Jacob's Age of 130 marking the beginning of the 400 Year Period of the Stay of Israel in Egypt in 1470 BC with the Exodus  under Moses occurring in 1070 BC under the Eleventh Ramesses and the Dissolution of the New Kingdom being the  Aftermath in 1069 BC which is followed by the Four Gospels in AD 69 of which therefore then happens 1137 Years after  2 the New Kingdom collapsed. So if Sunny's Left Hand for the Double Pat then this corresponds to the View of the Far  Right Side of the Hieroglyphic of Memphis to therefore also Australia by the World Map. This is the Hop Side of the  Anointing Oil of Memphis by the First Ingredient and Sunny's Visit was across from iHop on Madison Street in Seattle.  This is also the Yod Side of the Tetragrammaton which implies Light Emergent since there are Four Characters when  there are Five Columns meaning the Right Hand of Light in Fullness by the Light Over Water in the Far Left Column of  Memphis the Hieroglyphic is Hidden. Thereafter in Speaking to the Blond at Rainbow Natural Remedies and speaking of  their Hop Cones and in telling of my then understanding of the Hieroglyphic of Memphis as the Anointing Oil of Moses  points to Memphis she said to Me "Sounds like a Patriarch. It's Right Here" while pressing in a Single Extended Press with  her Right Hand to her Right Side of her Chest her Amun Side the Hollow Side of the Firmament and Right Hand would  indicate Left Side of the Hieroglyphic of Memphis where there is an Inscription of Light over Water. What sounds like  Patriarch? "Pat Tree Arch." Erin Siena worked at Urban Timber. "Path to the Ark." And when Sunny turned in turning  around as I told her the Age of Lamech the Father of Noah is "753" which is like an Odd Numbered Countdown implying  "1" as if to say Unity and they said at Sunny's Funeral that she was a Unitarian which is a Name like the Image of the  Unity of the Tetragrammaton the Circle with the Inscribed Bold X in the Far Right Column of the Hieroglyphic of the  Memphis the Capital of the First Nome of Egypt at the Juncture of the Nile that was Phishon and the Delta of Rich Soil  from Flooding the Gem of Egypt and then Sunny walked on Madison Street heading towards Broadway from the  Entrance of Seattle University and towards Fire Station Number Five on the Edge of Puget Sound where if Sunny  continued she would end up in Australia even reaching Roma Queensland Australia after at least 10,000 Miles whatever  the Distance is hence the Ark of Noah must be there in Roma. And whose Father is termed a Wandering Aramean?  Roma. Have you ever roamed? Yet someone might say that the Ark of Noah landed on a Mountain. Yes and thereafter  the Animals deboard but excuse me what about the Stored Food in the Ark to feed Everyone while Life begins Anew as  the Waters continue to recede and the Earth continues to Dry? Would you want to keep hiking back up the Mountain for  Breakfast every Morning for you and your Family and All of the Herds while still tilling the Soil for the First Crop?  Wouldn't the Logical Thought be to Unanchor the Ark from it's Landmass Position to slip down into the Water to keep at  the Receding Edge of the Water until you came to Plain of the Final Resting Position of the Ark? What does the  Unaltered True Translation say exactly so? Then too you might say that Senaar is Name of the Land between the Two  Rivers Tigress and Euphrates. Yes and also the Name of Kings at least One in Number in Scriptural History. Have you  heard of King Detroit? King Manhattan? King London? King Paris. Okay we can skip Paris for Queen Paris Hilton yet the  point here is that Names for Cities and Names for People diverge in Contemporary Settings until the Length of City  stitches the Name into the Mind of the Common Man to Echo the Past to carry independent meanings across Two  Categories. If you called your Son "Detroit" I would think your Son is an Automobile despite the Michael Mann  Documentary I never saw to my Memory though I have indeed been to Flint, Michigan which isn't Detroit yet Detroit  invokes an Automobile for me for reasons I don't even know weren't they made in Flint and we circumcised the World  with Automobiles okay that was fun is there anything else we can do besides watch the Flintstones and not even making  the Connection that Fred and Wilma rode in Neolithic Stone Cars that were never once made in Flint Michigan.  Mandatory Evacuations should precede September 21, 22, 23 in AD 2026 because Otherwise this might be like a  Preemptive Shot in the Head Two Months prior to the 65th Anniversary of the Assassination of JFK in a Sandwich Date  that's 64 Years and Ten Months. You wouldn't want to force Police to die in the Line of Duty and for Any Parts of these  Cities that might Survive to Any Degree you wouldn't want Looters to Invade the Homes while the City is Vacated prior  the Beginning of the End of the United States as the World knew it. What's the Significance of the Dates? Given Sunny  visited me at Night then the implication is that these Events could occur at Night and with Water on the West, Wind in  the Middle, and Light on the East for a Total of Six Cities across Three Days then if Fire fills New York and Fire fills  Washington DC at Night then the Whole World will see the Vivid Light of their Destruction on September 23, AD 2026  even as the Axial Tilt of the World is 23 Degrees. And these Three Dates of a Sandwich Date like the Name Sandra  Sudweeks whose Voice to me is like an Evil Witch these Three Dates summation is 21 and 22 and 23 are 66 and Route 66  Traverses Horizontally and the United States Leadership was a Whore for New Clear Violence with Little Boy and Fat  Man meaning Absolutely No Fucking Discrimination in who was targeted for Manhattan's Nuclear Vaporization  Celebrations on Investors Returns eliminating Civilians in a Lust for Wrath to win the Wreath World of Conquistadores in  the Death per Second Match so therefore Expect a Quick Return in the Consequences. "[Pat Pat Pat]" "Who's There?  Honey its the Leary Black Hand Irish Mafia. They wanna know when were going to give them their Next Protection  Money Installment. What? Tell them to Fuck Off and Die? Okay. Guys, umm. Errr. What! Honey? Nevermind! I thought

to the Curb. Go on. Roll the Fuck Away." Then what of the Significance of the Month of September? Well July and August  No Longer carry the Names of their Former Numbers from the Ten Month Calendar of the Roman Calendar System  namely No Longer Five in Latin and No Longer Six in Latin while the Months of September October November December  still carry the Names of these Four Months by their Former Numbers and these fit very nicely for "Yod Heh Waw Heh"  the Hebrew Characters of the Tetragrammaton and Yod I think maps to Spirit like Fire like Tongues of Fire like Fish  leaping out of the Water Line. Can you Multiply Fish without the Spirit? Who had the Spirit without Measure? You Guys

The application seeks recovery of approximately $1.2 .billion needed to administer and enhance income qualified programs, including California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE), Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) and the Energy Savings Assistance Program. The application covers a six-year periop from 2021 to 2026. If the CPUC approves this application, PG&E will begin to" recover costs in electric and gas rates beginning January 2021 and continue throughout the six years covered in the application. On an annual basis, PG&E is requesting less funding for these programs than previously authorized amounts, with the exception of FERA, which is being expanded per CPUC mandate. On average, residential electric customers will see a decrease in their monthly bill amount. Certain gas customers will also see a decrease in their monthly bill amount but, on average, residential gas customers will see a small increase. CARE and FERA are PG&E discount programs that help eligible customers pay their energy bills. ·CARE offers a monthly discount on energy bills for qualifying households. -n~ • FERA offers a monthly discount on electric bills for households of three or more people with a slightly highe~co~ than required for CARE. o ~ o .c:: ' , "Tl Energy Savings Assistance Program provides qualified customers with energy-saving improvements, such as-ene~ efficient appliances and home weatherization, at no charge for customers. CO :xr ,_ c.no To learn more about these programs, customers can visit pge.com/programs. 3 0 :t> \0 ..,,Ci •• ..,,0 Background w go The programs included in this application have provided income qualified customers assistance in lowering e~rgy l> consumption and costs while increasing their comfort, health and safety since 1983 and have offered rate assistance through a monthly discount to qualifying customers since 1989. PG&E is required to file an application updating its program proposals and costs for these income qualified programs. This recurring application is filed on a schedule approved by the CPUC. How will the application affect electric rates? Bundled electric customers receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services from PG&E. Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical residential nonCARE customer using 500 kWh per month would decrease from $121.17 to $120.89, or -0.2% in the first year. Direct Access and Community Choice Aggregation customers only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. On average, these customers would see a decrease of -0.3% in the first year. Another category of nonbundled customers is Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. However, these customers are required to pay certain charges by law or CPUC decision. The impact of PG&E's application on these customers is an average decrease of -2.3% in the first year. Actual impacts will vary depending on usage. How will the application affect gas rates? Bundled gas customers receive transmission, distribution and procurement services from PG&E. Based on rates currently in effect, the gas bill for a typical residential nonCARE customer averaging 32 therms per month would increase from $52.32 to $52.38, or 0.1 % in the first year. Actual impacts will vary depending on usage. 1 How do I find out more about PG&E's proposals? If you have questions about PG&E's filing, please contact PG&E at 1-800-743-5000.

The increase in commuter traffic, parking for the train station, 'Waymo' car tests, heavy construction trucks, and special equipment have all contributed to these conditions. This entire stretch of San Antonio Ave is always full of RVs and cars used as sleeping accommodations; there are frequently abandoned vehicles as well, and often used for storage of construction equipment. The oversized vehicles parked along this street block visibility when exiting Ponce Drive, especially concerning because this stretch of San Antonio Ave is very busy with bicyclists and pedestrians traveling to and from the Caltrain station. It is currently very hazardous for bicycles and pedestrians: bicyclists are forced onto the sidewalk for safety, jeopardizing the pedestrians and creating hazardous driving conditions for vehicles. We have observed that the fire hydrant is often blocked which causes even more of a safety concern for the residents in the area. There is a large amount of trash along both sides of San Antonio Ave because the individuals residing in RVs leave bagged trash directly on the street or in nearby areas. The area on the east side of San Antonio Ave is used as a bathroom and human fecal matter and other trash has been observed; the residents of the homes behind these walls have complained of strong human waste odors often coming from San Antonio Ave. The parked RVs and other vehicles prevent the sweeping truck from cleaning the streets. All of these bio-hazardous conditions in this area are unsanitary and unsafe for the community in general affecting the quality of life of our residents in particular. When the weather gets colder, the RVs and other vehicles that are used as living accommodations run generators for heat, which pollutes the air and creates loud sounds which violate city noise ordinances. This has been a problem for our community for several years, and many of our residents have filed numerous reports. Despite our efforts, there are several RVs that are here many days and weeks with no discernible movement. One particular RV has been parking here for over three years. This lack of enforcement has attracted more RVs and cars that are used as residences. We ask for code enforcement and "No Overnight Parking" signs placement for safety, security and sanitation reasons. Our Residents require a safe and sanitary neighborhood to be maintained for all. We understand that many individuals and their families have circumstances causing them to reside in RVs and other vehicles. While we empathize with with these individuals, we request the City of Palo Alto take immediate actions to protect our residents by enforcing the municipal codes and increasing signage. We are aware of measures taken by the City in other locations, and we request the same consideration from the City. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the residents of the San Alma HOA and surrounding neighborhood.

Eviction creates particular hardships for individuals and households of limited means, given the shortage of housing, particularly affordable housing, within the City of Redwood Cit·~ Palo Alto and the San Francisco Bay Area region generally ... I of I Not Yet Approved Ordinance No . Urgency Ordinance of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Temporarily Prohibiting Evictions without Just Cause through December 31, 2019, for Residential Real Property Built Prior to January 1, 2005 The Council of the City of Palo Alto ORDAINS as follows: SECTION 1. Findings and Declarations. The City Council finds and declares as follows: A. The "Tenant Protection Act of 2019" (Assembly Bill ["AB"] 1482) was approved by the California Legislature on September 11, 2019 and signed by the Governor on October 8, 2019; and B. Effective January 1, 2020 the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 codified as California Civil Code sections 1946.2 (Just Cause Eviction) and 1947.12 (Rent Caps) will provide eviction protections and limits on rent increases in the State of California; and C. The City Council, pursuant to its police powers, has broad authority to maintain public peace, health, and safety of its community and preserving the quality of life for its residents; and D. Housing instability threatens the public peace, health, and safety as eviction from one's home can lead to prolonged homelessness; increased residential mobility; loss of community; strain on household finances due to the necessity of paying rental application fees and security deposits; stress and anxiety experienced by those displaced; increased commute times and traffic impacts if displaced workers cannot find affordable housing within the city in which they work; and interruption of the education of children in the home; and E. Eviction creates particular hardships for individuals and households of limited means, given the shortage of housing, particularly affordable housing, within the City of Palo Alto and the San Francisco Bay Area region generally; and F. As AB 1482 does not go into effect until January 1, 2020, landlords could seek to evict tenants without cause in order to implement rent increases that would not otherwise be possible after the effective date; and G. The City desires to prohibit evictions without just cause during this transition period; and H. The City Council finds and determines that regulating the relations between residential landlords and tenants will increase certainty and fairness within the residential .. ) Not Yet Approved rental market in the City and thereby serve the public peace, health, and safety; and I. Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 2.04.270 authorizes the adoption of an urgency ordinance to protect the public peace, health or safety, where there is a declaration of the facts constituting the urgency and the ordinance is adopted by four-fifths of the Council; and J. This urgency ordinance would essentially establish the just cause eviction protections that will go into effect on January 1, 2020 under AB 1482 immediately within the City of Palo Alto; and K. An urgency ordinance that is effective immediately is necessary to avoid the immediate threat to public peace, health, and safety as failure to adopt this urgency ordinance could result in the displacement of the City's residents and community members. SECTION 2. Just Cause Eviction Protections. This urgency ordinance shall be known as the "Just Cause Eviction Protection Ordinance." (a) Notwithstanding any other law, after a tenant has continuously and lawfully occupied a residential real property for 12 months, the owner of the residential real property shall not terminate the tenancy without just cause, which shall be stated in the written notice to terminate tenancy. (b) For purposes of this Ordinance, just cause includes either of the following: 191118sm010 1. At-fault just cause, which is any of the following: (A) Default in the payment of rent.

(I) The employee, agent, or licensee's failure to vacate after their termination as an employee, agent, or a licensee as described in paragraph (1) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. {J) When the tenant fails to deliver possession of the residential real property after providing the owner written notice as provided in Section 1946 of the Civil Code of the tenant's intention to terminate the hiring of the real property, or makes a written offer to surrender that is accepted in writing by the landlord, but fails to deliver possession at the time specified in that written notice as described in paragraph (5) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. 2.

Cosmetic improvements alone, including painting, decorating, and minor repairs, or other work that can be performed safely without having the residential real property vacated, do not qualify as substantial rehabilitation. (E) Before an owner of residential real property issues a notice to terminate a tenancy for just cause that is a curable lease violation, the owner shall first give notice of the violation to the tenant with an opportunity to cure the violation pursuant to paragraph (3) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. If the violation is not cured within the time period set forth in the notice, a three - day notice to quit without an opportunity to cure may thereafter be served to terminate the tenancy.

Transient and tourist hotel occupancy as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 1940 of the Civil Code. 2.

(B) A corporation. 4 Not Yet Approved (C) A limited liability company in which at least one member is a corporation. 9. Housing restricted by deed, regulatory restriction contained in an agreement with a government agency, or other recorded document as affordable housing for persons and families of very low, or moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code, or subject to an agreement that provides housing subsidies for affordable housing for persons and families of very low, low, or moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code or comparable federal statutes. (d) Any waiver of the rights under this section shall be void as contrary to public policy. (e) For the purposes of this Ordinance, the following definitions shall apply: 1. "Owner" and "residential real property" have the same meaning as those terms are defined in Civil Code Section 1954.51. 2. "Tenancy" means the lawful occupation of residential real property and includes a lease or sublease. (f) Applicability. This Ordinance shall apply to tenancies where the tenant remains in possession of the residential real property and an eviction lawsuit, if any, has not been finally adjudicated. (g) Statement of Urgency. The City Council finds and declares that this Ordinance is required for the immediate protection of the public peace, health and safety as failure to adopt this urgency ordinance could result in irreversible displacement of residents resulting from no-fault evictions during the period before AB1482 becomes effective. The Council, therefore, adopts this Ordinance to become effective immediately upon adoption. (h) Enforcement. An owner's failure to comply with any requirement of this Ordinance shall render any notice of termination of tenancy void. A tenant may assert this Ordinance as a complete affirmative defense in an unlawful detainer or other action brought by the owner to recover possession of the residential real property. A tenant may bring a civil suit in the courts of the state alleging that an owner has violated any of the provisions of this ordinance. An owner's failure to comply with this Ordinance does not constitute a criminal offense. SECTION 3. If any section, subsection, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion or sections of the Ordinance. The Council hereby declares that it should have adopted the Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid. 191118sm010 5 Not Yet Approved SECTION 4. The Council finds that this project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), pursuant to Section 15061 of the CEQA Guidelines, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. SECTION 5. This ordinance shall be effective immediately upon adoption and shall remain in effect until December 31, 2019. On January 1, 2020, this ordinance shall be repealed and shall be of no further force and effect.
