In line with city council policy, I’m writing to request the following items be added to the agenda of a future city council meeting:
- Former Sunset magazine campus - Several weeks have passed since the city was made aware of a builders’ remedy project for a portion of the former Sunset Magazine campus, but the city council has yet to discuss this matter. Given that this matter could give rise to litigation, it would seem that a closed session would be the most appropriate format. I’ll defer to the mayor, city manager and city attorney on the determination of format, but please let this email serve as my formal request that an item regarding this subject be added to a future council meeting.
- USGS site/school zoning - Last year, the council directed that a portion of the USGS campus on Middlefield Rd. be reserved for a future school site. I formally request that the council schedule a review of this decision. No local school board has said the site is needed or formally expressed an interest in building a school on the site. The fact that no one has bid for the site suggests that the council’s decision may be hampering any future development, and the housing such a project would provide. Additionally, given that the city still does not have an approved housing element, the development of this site may become even more important.
