Re: 80 Willow Rd. Development

Hello counsel members. I appreciate some of your responses to my original
note, and I very much appreciate your thoughtful and principled approach to
the Willow Road matter. Theres a long way to go but anecdotally I see/hear
a big sigh of relief after your decision and I believe Menlo Park will
continue to rally behind an opposition to this project while seeking a
rational alternative for the property.

Best,
Steve
