To be more precise my concern was that nobody in the City was responsible for overseeing the operation of the system. I offered a number of examples of how this lack of overall oversight was leading to all sorts of problems in the system including but not limited to excessive delays before items were ever addressed, indication in the system that items had been addressed when either they hadn't been addressed at all or had only been partially addressed and items that sat in the system and were never addressed at all. At the time I only received a response from a single Council member who indicated they shared many of my concerns. I never heard from anyone else over the last twelve months. I realize you all have a lot of issues on your plates but this seems like a city wide issue that should concern all of you and would have triggered more than just the lone response I received. I can't see that anything has changed or improved in the last year with the 311 system management by the City. I'd like to get suggestions from any of you who are concerned with this situation on the best way for me to proceed at this time with this issue.

This situation is getting ridiculous. No other City is permitting this. Junk trailers all over the place, now stacking up back to back in the residential area between Maybell and Vista. Other types of junk vehicles, some for hauling something, and a mobile pizza truck (this is brand new though fortunately) operating on El Camino Real are also part of the circus we have going on here. Please explain why you, the council, our police, or whoever (the county or state?) is letting this happen only in our city. On another note, I have given up on anyone maintaining Palo Alto’s El Camino Real. Besides the road deterioration, the landscaping is ugly and overgrown (Oregon Expressway is ironically well maintained though), street signal lights need paint and signs are bent and totally faded, etc. Does anyone from your staff or the county or the state ever do a survey like a property manager might do? I drove recently through stretches of El Camino maybe in Burlingame with brand new signals just for cross walks. We could use one at Vista and El Camino but apparently Palo Alto has this no can do, it is a state road, attitude. I plan to get media out here, maybe KTVU, to get some answers. This City is not as nice as people think, especially if you live near El Camino. By the way, I don’t think many people actually live in those trailers. If so, I would have compassion. I think it is just hoarder storage space on rent free El Camino Real. There was some news story that the people living in all these trailers are working on City and Stanford construction jobs. I would like to see some support for that assertion. Maybe the local paper can find out how many people are coming out of the trailers with hard hats early every morning. I am copying Mr. Price.

Know that the damage you created to my home far exceeds that amount of a $ million dollars.     Your management of downtown City parking has created chaos, at best. Your traffic safety project along Middlefield Avenue is a failure, as evidenced by thirteen (13) auto collisions at Middlefield and Lincoln Avenue so far this year, despite resident repeated pleadings to remedy the problem with a single crosswalk (!). Your arrogant ineptitude has left locals ignored, insulted, and up-in-arms. I'm personally offended by your disregard for the disabled and for our compromised seniors. Your refusal to be accountable to the community, to the extent that you refuse to even answer direct questions, is appalling.     It is not advantageous to your career to patronize Palo Alto citizens. I certainly hope you don't receive a severance package or made-a-deal for your resignation (dismissal?). Thanks for nothing! You left my home in a big mess.

When Berkeley California declared climate emergency on June 12 of this year, the resolution included a commitment to help launch a Bay Area regional mobilization and just transition effort. 2 Last Friday they took a huge step in realizing that commitment, hosting a climate emergency town hall that brought together elected leaders, sustainability staff, other governmental officials, and community groups and organizers for a powerful day grappling with the stark reality of where we are and strategizing on how to restore a safe climate at emergency speed. Thank you Berkeley Vice Mayor Cheryl Davila, Councilmember Kate Harrison, and Mayor Jesse Arreguin for making this happen. Thank you LA City Councilmember Paul Koretz, Vice Mayor Davila, and Councilmember Harrison for delivering a rousing call to attendees to join them in mobilizing to protect humanity and the natural world. You can read our report from the field for more detail on the big day! Huge shout outs to our organizers in the Bay Area! We are just getting started! We are hoping that, after witnessing the townhall, many more cities and counties in the Bay Area region will declare a climate emergency, commit to mobilization, and embrace the role of advocate, as Berkeley has. We see tremendous possibilities opening up for a breakthrough paradigm shift in the Bay Area. Next week, Climate Mobilization organizers in 11 localities across the U.S. and Canada will build on this momentum, urging their cities to mobilize for a safe climate. Will you join them? Sign up here to start a Climate Mobilization chapter in your city or work with an existing group to start a climate emergency campaign. Onward! Margaret Donate $5 a month! Donate $30 a month!

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Marin County Board of Education at a special meeting held on the 27th day of June, 2017 by the following vote: AYES: Garbarino, Goldman, Hellman, Nemzer, Robinson, Warren, Wilson NOES: None ABSENT: None (SEAL) Attest: RKE, Secretary Marin County Board of Education and Marin County Superintendent of Schools Marin County Board A re you USA Proud? Dear Student: Explore the map. Imagine sailing from Boston to South America to Hawaii and finally California. In the 1840s at Sonoma and Petaluma Valley, General Vallejo was shipping hides on Mexico’s Frontera del Norte with his Acapulco partner Henry Virmond to Germany. This poster-calendar is for you to take home to display. In 2002, when you were born as the new Millineum generation, we started to fix the problem in California schools of not teaching teens how to open their local “Pacific Coast” window in 19th Century US History. In 2004, we sailed as a courier ship dispatched for you for this patriotic purpose to improve the US history law with mayor endorsements from Monterey to the Capitol. In 2006, the California Senate adopted the Pacific Maritime Routes resolution. Finally, August 2016, the State Board of Education approved the “Around the Horn” and “President Polk” standards for teaching teens US history in grades 8th and 11th. Now, for the first time in our Golden State K-12 schools, you have the sailing ship, the horse, the covered wagon, the American steam locomotive, all together for learning. You have the complete Atlantic-Pacific geo-political system of climate, soils, food staples, commerce, waterways, technology, migration in the West. I share the hope for this education milestone to guarantee you access to basic knowledge of our landscape and people. Today’s generations will now growup with local roots in the classroom to improve community awareness that we didn’t have... to transform apathy into caring. © 2017 Golden State History Riccardo Gaudino Education Director for USA PROUD Learning Challenge.

It is clear to me that Library Management is not taking this seriously, but I'm hoping that you will. It is mayhem at this point -chi ldren running in the library, both adults and children riding bikes and scooters on the patio and along the very narrow sidewalk. Riders dropping their bikes on the patio near the entrance, making it difficult to sometimes get safely to the entrance. The bike stands create an unsafe barrier to safely accessing drop-off and pick-up in the white zone. Bike riders shoot down the narrow sidewalk, at a high rate of speed, as a pass through from the park. There are no bike lanes for the kids to use, the parking lot is narrow and dangerous, so not safe for anyone. Clearly whomever designed the front of the library did not use even an iota of common sense when planning that design. Thus, the City has created extraordinarily unsafe conditions for anyone with disabilities, anyone who is medically fragile, anyone with special needs, anyone at all really, including the kids . •• loves the Mitchell Park Library, but is now expressing fear about going there because of all the bikes whizzing by and kids running in the library, fear that someone will run into. causing. to fall. It is only a matter of time before someone will suffer injury due to these conditions. Thank you.

Electronic address: cindyleerussell@gmail.com. * Radiofrequency radiation - RF. . .a new form of environmental pollution and negative public health * Years before health consequences are known * Pregnant women and children are more vulnerable to developmental harm from microwave radiation * Children absorb more microwave radiation per body weight than an adult, but standards are for adults. Abstract The popularity, widespread use and increasing dependency on wireless technologies has spawned a telecommunications industrial revolution with increasing public exposure to broader and higher frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum to transmit data through a variety of devices and infrastructure. On the horizon, a new generation of even shorter high frequency 5G wavelengths is being proposed to power the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT promises us convenient and easy lifestyles with a massive 5G interconnected tele-communications network, however, the expansion of broadband with shorter wavelength radiofrequency radiation highlights the concern that health and safety issues remain unknown. Controversy continues with regards to harm from current 2G, 3G and 4G wireless 2 technologies. 5G technologies are far less studied for human or environmental effects. It is argued that the addition of this added high frequency 5G radiation to an already complex mix of lower frequencies, will contribute to a negative public health outcome both from both physical and mental health perspectives. Radiofrequency radiation (RF) is increasingly being recognized as a new form of environmental pollution. Like other common toxic exposures, the effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF EMR) will be problematic if not impossible to sort out epidemiologically as there no longer remains an unexposed control group. This is their common health risk behaviors. Effects can also be non-linear. Because this is the first generation to have cradle-to-grave lifespan exposure to this level of man-made microwave (RF EMR) radiofrequencies, it will be years or decades before the true health consequences are known. Precaution in the roll out of this new technology is stronglyindicated. This article will review relevant electromagnetic frequencies, exposure standards and current scientific literature on the health implications of 2G, 3G, 4G exposure, including some of the available literature on 5G frequencies. The question of what constitutes a public health issue will be raised, as well as the need for a precautionary approach in advancing new wireless technologies. 3.1. Controversy persists as evidence of harm increases The controversy over health effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF EMR) from commonly used wireless devices such as cell phones, cordless phones, WiFi routers and cell tower infrastructure remains problematic. RF research in the U.S. is poorly funded and even when a study is robust it never seems to answer the question of long term safety or provide appropriate precautionary limits. (Wyde, 2016). In 2011 the International Agency on Research on Cancer (IARC) listed non-ionizing radiofrequency radiation from cell phones and other wireless devices in Group 2B: Possibly carcinogenic to humans, based on a thorough analysis of current scientific evidence (IARC, 2011; IARC, 2017). . . . Radiofrequencies are absorbed by and pass through living systems that contain water. Pregnant women and children are more vulnerable to developmental harm from microwave radiation due to immature organ systems (Birks et al., 2017, Othman et al., 2017a, Othman et al., 2017b). Research also shows children absorb more microwave radiation per body weight than an adult, however, standards were developed for adult bodies (Morgan et al., 2014). . . .

On the surface it seems like a harmless convenience for those who are too busy to stop at the gas station. But after witnessing three deliveries on my block in the past couple of months, I'd like to suggest that the program probably needs tweaking. I've attached a photo of tonight's delivery, by a company called FillD. 1. While it can't compare with leaf blowers or planes on approach to SFO, the process is not silent. One delivery occurred after 10 pm when the block was otherwise dead quiet, and the unusual sounds drew me out of the house to investigate. 2. The process takes some time, during which the sidewalk is blocked by the truck and/or its hose, causing evening walkers to detour across the street. 3. The use of bright emergency flashers during the delivery also the disturbs the nighttime peace of the block. 4. Tonight, the driver had ear buds in, presumably listening to music, rendering him insensible to sounds that might indicate a problem. It's bad enough that UPS and their ilk are roaming the neighborhoods at night, but on top of that general annoyance, this gas delivery service adds safety elements that should be addressed. Sincere thanks for all you do. Mike Alexander 3391 Saint Michael Dr. 650-815-6719 ps ...

More exciting, however, was the commission's interest in the immediate conversion of court 5 from a single tennis court to four pickleball courts concurrent with the upcoming court resurfacing project. This makes so much sense, both practically and financially. We've met, solicited feedback from stakeholders, weighed our options, and debated for years. I don't think more discussion will give us more clarity. We know the facts -- now it's time to act.  Can we look forward to seeing the court 5 conversion on the commission's agenda next month? Is there anything I can personally do to ensure that this happens?

Brutal treatment, deteriorating prison conditions, and incredibly long sentences have led to widespread hopelessness among the incarcerated population. That's why – right now – there's a Nationwide Prison Strike going on coast to coast. Get the full rundown of what this strike is all about and learn how we can all show our solidarity – it means so much to the incarcerated people leading the charge. The injustice of our criminal justice system is nothing new – you can trace it all the way back to 1865, when the 13th Amendment abolished slavery but carved out an exception for people convicted of criminal offenses. Over 250 years later, strikers are calling for fair compensation for their hard labor each day – it's one of 10 demands that include improving prison conditions, properly funding rehabilitation, and addressing the racism that fuels mass incarceration. Among all the strikers' demands, they're emphasizing the #Right2Vote. Currently, only Maine and Vermont give all incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people their voting rights. People in jail, prison, or on parole should have a voice in our democratic society. In fact, their voices are key to resolving the countless failures of our criminal justice system. 2 Learn more about the remarkable act of civil disobedience sweeping through our nation. It's about time we listen to the people who are directly impacted by our unjust policies. Our country is stronger when we can all raise our voices to demand a better future. And in the historic Nationwide Prison Strike, we're seeing just that.

It will be expensive but I am more concerned with human life. The red dots on the Palo Alto map below show the locations of four proposed houses with 1 - 3 bedrooms in the basements. As you can see, they are all located in the "new" flood zone expected with sea level rise. In addition, very few cities have accounted for groundwater level rise concurrent with sea level rise but scientists tell us groundwater level rise doubles the amount of area that will be flooded.    Cities in Florida and Texas are revising their building codes to require houses be elevated to avoid flooding. The loss of human life is a very real possibility. In order to protect human life, I respectfully request that the City look into and address this issue.     Thank you for your service to our community,  Esther Nigenda, Ph.

Below the "###" line, I list some of the outstanding issues. Thanks. Jeff ------------------- Jeff Hoel 731 Colorado Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94303 ------------------- ################################################################################## ISSUES: * Whether the NPV for the smart meter project is about zero or minus $7 million (over 18 years) apparently depends on whether you get to count the money saved when consumers conserve, and on whether personnel synergies result. I think that when consumers conserve, the money saved should go to them, not to the smart meter project. It's not clear how much conservation can be attributed to smart meters. If the NPV is minus $7 million, is the project still a good idea? On 11-01-17, Commissioner Trumbull didn't think so. 2 * The 05-02-18 report assumes that smart meters will be connected to the central office by a wireless network, but it doesn't provide an analysis of how much bandwidth will be needed. We know that other utilities have implemented AMI systems that seem to work. We don't know -- or at least I don't know -- whether there's enough bandwidth to sample as frequently as we want to, or use the kinds of protocols that assure security, etc. * There was some discussion of what happens when the electric power goes out, but it wasn't supported by factual evidence in the report. I now have the impression that an electric smart meter doesn't have a back-up battery, but only a capacitor, that can keep the meter working for only a very short time -- only long enough for a "last gasp" message. That won't support Commissioner Ballantine's vision of an AMI network that continues over time to tell you what's wrong. * The report didn't discuss any of the specifics of the wireless network. I now have the impression that one of the options being considered by staff is to outsource this network to one of the commercial wireless providers (like AT&T or Verizon). Note that this puts the reliability of the network outside of the City's control. When Council approved Verizon's last batch of small cell wireless nodes (05-21-18), it didn't require battery back-up, because it would have made the nodes uglier. Even where the incumbent providers have battery back-up, I have the impression that it's for only about 20 minutes. Is that long enough? (The City's RFP #152569 for a citywide fiber-to-the-premises master plan (07-03-14) https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/42930 asked bidders to consider schemes tor remaining operational for seven days without grid power. I'm not saying that was the right number, but it's longer than 20 minutes.) * If the City's AMI system were to outsource the wireless network to a commercial provider, what would it cost, what would the reliability be, etc.? Verizon recently throttled the wireless service of California firefighters. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/08/verizon-throttled-fire-departments-unlimited-data-during-calif-wildfire/ * Water meters and gas meters would be powered by a built-in battery and not by grid power. And when the battery runs out, you have to replace the whole radio. So how long does the battery last? It depends on how much the radio is doing. So, it might be asked to transmit information only, say, twice per day. The report doesn't say anything about what the options are. During the discussion, staff said the meter had the ability to tell the network when the battery was low, so the utility could replace the unit before it failed in the field. And that's good. But not documented. * There was some discussion about the need for an opt-out option for people who don't want their homes to have smart meters. But the report didn't provide any specific ideas. It says we can figure this out later. How about figuring it out now? 1 Carnahan, David From:Letha DiLauro <lmdilauro@gmail.com> Sent:Sunday, September 2, 2018 10:11 PM To:Council, City Subject:train crossing Charleston and Meadow Dear City Council,    I want the train or tunnel.  I do not it on a wall.  The wall will make the train louder, it is an ugly choose for Palo Alto and  we do not deserve a better than an eyesore. We will live wit the decision for the next 100 years.  Do what is right.     We have enough noise with airplane traffic and the train. We do not need any additional noise pollution.  I have lived  here for 47 years and am losing my hearing.  Do you think the train could have anything to do with it?  Before my  husband’s passing in 2016 he was also losing his hearing.       Why are we still studying the train on the wall?  Put the money into a decision.  Has anyone brought up the concern  over suicide prevention?    Thank you for reading y email.    Letha DiLauro  4131 Park Blvd.  Palo Alto, CA  94306    650‐493‐4278    1 Carnahan, David From:AmyMChristel <amymchristel@gmail.com> Sent:Wednesday, August 29, 2018 1:23 PM To:Council, City Subject:Transfer of City Notices and Agendas to lower circulation paper Dear Council Members,  The recent move to save $20K per year (and decrease public awareness of City Notices and Agendas) by awarding the ciy  contract to the Daily as opposed to the PA Weekly is wrong.  The Weekly is relied upon by Palo Altans because it is  delivered to homes and has solidly reported on the issues of this community for decades. The Daily Post is barely a rag.     What a short sighted move by the City Clerk!  Please reverse this decision.   If the $20K needs to be saved, cut funding  from “so‐called” bike blvd “improvements”.  The rational Midotwn residents  would never have supported the Ross Rd  changes if given proper notice of the extent and cost!      Thanks,  Amy Christel  Midtown    Sent from my iPhone  1 Carnahan, David From:Tony Ciampi <T.Ciampi@hotmail.com> Sent:Friday, August 31, 2018 9:57 PM To:Keene, James; City Mgr; Ng, Judy; Binder, Andrew; michael.gennaco@oirgroup.com; Council, City; Stump, Molly; Shikada, Ed Cc:kamala_harris@harris.senate.gov; Nathan_Barankin@harris.senate.gov; Marguerite_Biagi@harris.senate.gov; Clint_Odom@harris.senate.gov; Lily_Adams@harris.senate.gov; dustin.brandenburg@mail.house.gov; katie.weiss@mail.house.gov; liz.argo@mail.house.gov; Anthony.Ratekin@mail.house.gov; Jilian.Plank@mail.house.gov; kelsey.smith@mail.house.gov; christopher.livingston@mail.house.gov; alexandra.gourdikian@mail.house.gov; Philip_Maxson@mcconnell.senate.gov; asoltani@aclunc.org; btucker@aclunc.org; organizing@aclunc.org; aschlosser@aclunc.org; mrisher@aclunc.org; info@sanjosenaacp.org; naacpsfbr@att.net; actso@naacpnet.org; hollywoodbureau@naacpnet.org; info@lccr.com; info@anamericaninjustice.com; bharat_ramamurti@warren.senate.gov; elizabeth_warren@warren.senate.gov; Dan_Geldon@warren.senate.gov; Stephanie_Akpa@warren.senate.gov; blanca.jimenez@mail.house.gov; rykia.dorsey@mail.house.gov; Natasha_Hickman@burr.senate.gov; scheduling49@mail.house.gov; Phil_Maxson@mcconnell.senate.gov; Natasha_Hickman@burr.senate.gov Subject:Will you provide an answer regarding Ofc.

Environment [ ] Placed Before Meeting f)a::Received at Meeting Wells Fargo commits $200 billion toward sustainable financing The company's pledge is designed to promote the shift to a low-carbon economy. More than $100 billion will go toward financing clean technology and renewable energy projects. Wells Fargo will provide $200 billion in financing through 2030 to businesses and projects that support the transition to a low- carbon economy, CEO Tim Sloan announced Thursday during his keynote address at a CEO Investor Forum in San Francisco. APRIL 19, 2018 Jessica Pacek More than 50 percent of the financing will be focused on companies and projects that directly support the transition to a low-carbon economy, including clean technologies, renewable energy, green bonds, and alternative transportation. The remainder of the financing will support companies and projects focused on sustainable agriculture, recycling, conservation, and other environmentally beneficial activities. Wells Fargo is also committing to sector-leading transparency: providing clear communications on wellsfargo.com about the types of transactions that account for the $200 billion commitment, disclosing the carbon intensity of its portfolio, and providing robust progress and impact reporting. Additionally, Wells Fargo plans to be more visible in the sustainable financing space, engaging with sector peers and other organizations interested in advancing a common approach to responsible, sustainable finance. Supporting Environmental Sustainability Wells Fargo is committed to promoting environmental sustainability. Through our products and services, operations, and philanthropy, Wells Fargo is funding the shift to a low-carbon economy.

"With this commitment, we are combining a strong financial goal with enhanced transparency and disclosure practices that we believe will lead to sector-wide progress on responsible, sustainable finance:· A history of support The announcement is another step in Wells Fargo's ongoing commitment to clean energy and renewable energy financing. In 2015, five years early, Wells Fargo met its goal to provide $30 billion in loans and investments to support a "greener economy" by 2020. In 2016, projects owned in whole or in part by Wells Fargo produced more than 9 percent of all wind and solar photovoltaic energy generated in the U.S., and in 2017, the company invested $12 billion in sustainable businesses. Wells Fargo is also a financial services leader in sustainability within its properties. In 2017, the bank began meeting 100 percent of its global electricity needs with renewable energy. It also met its 2020 carbon-reduction goal of 45 percent from a 2008 baseline and made significant progress toward other sustainability goals focused on water and energy efficiency, waste reduction, and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, certification. The company also creates opportunities for innovators to develop ideas that promote sustainability. Wells Fargo's award-winning Innovation Incubator -a $30 million program funded by the Wells Fargo Foundation and co- administered by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory-speeds the path to market for promising clean technologies and entrepreneurs focused on energy efficiency and sustainability. A signature piece of the program is the opportunity for certain technologies to beta test at certain Wells Fargo locations on their way to the commercial marketplace.

During the Nobu Restaurant project discussion, several references had been made to the existing Epiphany Hotel building. When the question about the tile was being discussed, I was thinking the Council was referring to the existing tile depicting the large tree mural on the exterior wall on the Epiphany Hotel building, which is not listed as a City of Palo Alto Historic Resource. After last night's meeting while walking home past the Epiphany Hotel building, I then realized the Council was referencing the other adjacent building next to the Nobu Restaurant project. That adjacent building, which housed the former Bijou Theater, is listed as a Category Three City of Palo Alto Historic Resource. The existing terra cotta tile on that building is identified as part of the important historic fabric of that Resource that warrants protection from damage during the course of construction of the Nobu Restaurant project. Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions.

In that letter I noted that sometime in the 2000s the City of Palo Alto had placed concrete caps on top of sewer laterals along Barron Creek, that during the past winter the concrete cap in front of 940 Los Robles Avenue had cracked, and that the lateral therefore appeared to be in need of repair, and I asked if you would route this information to the appropriate City department for action. Sometime over the summer the crack has become slightly displaced, with one side now slightly higher than the other, and a portion of the concrete cap has broken off on the downstream edge of the cap. The cap itself is not fully in contact with the ground beneath it; in places it is more like a bridge, with spaces below that allow water to run freely under it. Rather than protect - ing the sewer lateral, the cap will force water downward onto the soil covering the lateral. I believe the cap is the main cause of the erosion affecting the creek bed and the creek bank at the site. The cap creates a waterfall causing vigorous scouring of the ground and banks below it. The Los Robles Avenue bank is already severely undereaten. The concrete cap on the next lateral downstream shows the same kind of decay and erosion. Could you please bring this additional information to the attention of the appropriate City department for repairs and remediation? Thank you. Sincerely, fl.),J,)~ Randolph G Scarborough CITY OF PALO ALTO.
