“I was wondering if staff could share a little bit more about that time change to 6pm if they've looked at other cities and what the general practices, if they could just share a little bit more.”

“Great Thank you and i'll just say that I think I have had people talk asked me what time meeting starts at 536 so I do hear that it is confusing at times for people.”

“Thank you for staying late and presenting. Speaking to our earlier point, I think it can be difficult for you all to stay here and present at 9 p.m., so I'm glad in the future we're going to be moving our council meetings earlier. I had two questions. The first one about your peer-to-peer tutoring. How do you screen or recruit the tutors?”

“Thank you, and then I have a question if we have topics that are interested, for example, if we want to know. how Sunnyvale BEAM is working for the youth. Is that something that we can suggest as a topic or how would we engage with you all?”

“Thank you for the presentation and the program updates. I was curious if you have a breakdown of by city population, the use of the preserves, especially for a city like ours where the preserves aren't specifically in Sunnyvale. You might not have that number on hand.”

“Could you restate that? You want to know what's the breakdown of the preserve use by city or by population? You know, I don't know that we do.”

“I think I would just be curious, you know, if people move into the city or the nearby locations, how they might hear about these opportunities to go and use the preserves or how outreach that NDPEN does to provide this information to people that live in the area.”

“Thank you. I have a follow-up question more about wildlife and issues because we talked about rodenticide. So there's an increasing issue with rabies in bats. So how do you all track kind of, you know, issues that come up?”

“Thank you. With this current timeline of after we conduct this hearing, are the residents aware of the potential construction starting in November, particularly for the 32 unit building that's going to be demolished? Moving might be a bit of an issue.”

“Thank you for the update and the presentation. And following up to that question, originally in 2025, it was supposed to be $5 million. So where would that have been applied to, or if we were able to get a larger amount of funding like that in the future?”

“Great. Thank you. And this is feedback on the project. I think it would be helpful in the future if we're able to have a timeline or to show milestones of which milestones we've met and how, where we are on the map. I went through the website and it looks, it's set up a little bit differently than our regular website. So I think it would be helpful to have a timeline for different project milestones, mostly because I did look for that and it's kind of buried on the third page of the brochure and the website. I do like the news articles, but it's, I guess if I just want to look at a zoomed-out…”

“Thank you for the presentation and update. I know you mentioned you're going to talk about capital projects at a later meeting, but I did want to talk about the track safety you mentioned. Is there any way to fast track that? Just I'm thinking back about six months ago at Hendy Avenue, there was a collision with the train right on the tracks.”

“And on the topic of safety, I think the station has been really confusing to people when there are safety concerns. So if your car is broken into in the parking lot, it's under the jurisdiction of the city. If there's something suspicious or dangerous, you're supposed to report that to transit police. but it gets really difficult for people that get kind of hot potatoed back and forth and there's not i think enough communication between transit police so i guess it's more of a request if they can work with our department of public safety more there have been a lot of issues with dumping in…”

“Thank you for the presentation and the update and staff's flexibility in changing to this new process. I did wanna ask about tracking of the Just Do It projects. I think with the smoke shop one, it moved really fast and it's not really kind of reflected in this whole process. So it does affect staff workloads. I just wanted the just do it projects incorporated into it too.”

“yeah I could see some of them being pretty fast but some of them could evolve into something more complicated so that might come up and on similar to Councilmember Cisneros when it's considered significantly delayed but some of the you know it might be from our feedback that the scope changes a bit whether that's still considered significantly delayed or if it's a new scoper project in some form”
City Council · Aug 25, 2026

“Okay, thank you. I think it'll be helpful to also understand as we go into the workshop, if we're proposing new projects that might kind of build off current existing projects, how that might be impacted if it's considered significantly delayed in that sense, and how that might affect the timeline. Thank you.”

“Thank you for the presentation and to Council Member Purcell's point I would be interested I know we're looking you're talking about San Francisco and San Jose rolling it back but I would be interested in seeing cities like East Palo Alto or Santa Cruz that have the 20 percent and how that's impacted development just as a comparison and then just some short requests if If we could get the presentation for September a little bit earlier, I know it's going to planning and housing and human services. So if it's possible to get the presentation and some background a little bit earlier, just…”

“No, I feel pretty similarly, so I don't feel like I need to hash it out again.”

“Thank you for the presentation and for drafting the letters. I had a thought that in the end summary, if we wanted to, if we could include something about a closing that makes mention of our city's good efforts. In page 10 of the Civil Grand Jury report, it says of the 16 jurisdictions, the Civil Grand Jury found that only Gilroy, Los Gatos, Palo Alto, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale provide adequate claims process information on their web pages or on the claim for itself. a separate item is that we're one of the three cities that took helpful step of providing additional language options. I just…”

“With a friendly amendment to the first response to include in the summary the mention of our city making good effort on the adequate claims process and the providing additional language options.”

“Thank you. I think staff's responses were good to the civil grand jury reports. And I think it's pretty clear that Sunnyvale is making a pretty good effort already based on their own report. So I wanted to include that part. For the second report and finding, I do think Appropriate experience is broad and it could lead to potential conflicts of interest. So I think it is best to leave it up to the individual jurisdictions on appointment process. And so I urge my colleagues, I vote.”

“Great, thank you. Thank you for your work on this. It was really interesting. I thought that there was an intersection of poverty and seniors living alone in the middle of Sunnyvale that I hadn't anticipated when I looked at the report. So that was really interesting to me. And as we look at grocery stores and as the disparity of grocery stores in the northern Sunnyvale area, it's also that the grocery stores are just concentrated along El Camino Real specifically. And so as we're looking at more diversity development of grocery stores if not just centered along El Camino Real and other parts…”

“On 94089 for special concern, how would that take the Moffett Park specific plan development into consideration for future development?”
