RE:Absence of Menlo Park representation at LPMG meeting (Caltrain/ High Speed Rail)


I want to make clear that my posting above regarding Menlo Park not being represented at this meeting, was not meant in anyway to
convey critical personal charges against either Councilmember Cline or Keith.

Both of them have written me and have good reasons for their absences.

The problem is one of communication it seems; the City should have sent at least in their absence someone to state MP's views, but
did not.

As it turns out, this meeting was a total disaster with nothing of value to offer.

For those who missed my earlier posting, copied below is the earlier posting.


I attended the Local Policy Makers Group (LPMG) meeting last evening (2/22/2018) in San Carlos. Although Palo Alto, Belmont,
Redwood City all sent representatives to the meeting which focused on High Speed Rail and Caltrain, Menlo Park was not
represented.

Neither Councilmembers Cline, nor Keith, our official representatives, were present. One would think the City would at least send
somebody there.

My conclusion is Caltrain and High Speed Rail are not much of a priority of the Council.
