URGENT REQUEST!! - Attend Council Meeting TONIGHT
CCSGI Under Attack - SAVE CUPERTINO - Wear RED
Cupertino Council Meeting to amend the ballot language just adopted on March 31, 2016
Location: Community Hall (next to Cupertino Library)
Date: April 5, 2016 (TONIGHT)
Time: Any time right after regular 6:45PM Council meeting. (NOT 9 PM.)
With days short of the 3-day meeting notice required by the Brown Act, the City has added a new item to tonight's meeting agenda to amend the ballot question for the CCSG Initiative that was adopted on March 31, 2016 after public comments and Council deliberation. To grant themselves permission to violate the Brown Act, the City added the new agenda item as a "special meeting" to immediately following the regularly scheduled City Council meeting at 6:45 PM tonight. Special meetings, which have a 24-hour notification window as provided by the Municipal Code, are intended to be reserved for issues that must be resolved immediately.
However, tonight's special meeting will be squandered to address the false claim that the Cupertino Citizens' Sensible growth Growth Initiative (CCSG Initiative) will increase building heights in the community and to sabotage the grassroots citizens' efforts to present the CCSG Initiative using inaccurate, biased language on the November 2016 ballot. Note: Final ballot questions are not due to the Registrar of Voters until August 2016. And yet, tonight, we have a special meeting to decide ballot language that is not due for four (4) months.
The CCSG Initiative will ensure that Cupertino is revitalized to align with the community's vision, not the developers' vision. Contrary to the misstatements made in the draft ballot language approved by the City Council, the text of the CCSG Initiative does not increase the existing 30 foot building height limit in Cupertino’s neighborhoods. The CCSG Initiative allows the voters to be engaged fully in determining the future direction of Cupertino. We will ask the City Council to correct their error at tonight’s special City Council meeting at 9 pm in the Cupertino Community Hall, and hope we hope you will attend to show your support.
Wear RED and attend tonight's "special meeting" to support grassroots citizens' effort to protect the future of Cupertino. See you at the Cupertino Community Hall at 9 PM, Tuesday, April 5, 2016.
