City Council Members- You seem determined to waste the taxpayers money and make yourselves look like the *worst* representatives in the history of Menlo Park. Wasting our money on a PR firm is *NOT* going to help. Finding an alternative location for the housing will help. Not ruining our downt...
Council People, Sanctuary city, again! Lawsuit? You are using taxpayers money to pick a fight with the Feds. How smart is that? A few years back mayor R.M. Told me in no uncertain terms that Menlo was NOT going to become a sanctuary city. A month later it was a "safe city". City funds pissed awa...

Dear Mayor Ohtaki and Council Members: Earlier this summer, my wife and I traveled to the country of Ireland, a country which includes your Sister City, known as GALWAY, a relationship that began nearly 150 years ago. One thing we were most impressed with was an active program throughout the country...
To Menlo Park Planning Commission, Council and Planners, I recently became a aware from a friend that Menlo Church needs to apply for a permit for operations at "the bank" on Santa Cruz Ave and that a neighbor has complained about the activity claiming that the activity has devalued his property.

Hello Council, Is is a conflict of interest to have an architect firm conduct a space needs study? This question started coming up during the controversy on the Main Library Project. Even if not, it's unwise to bypass the bidding process for firms and just go with Noll & Tam. The firm may not be the...
