Dear City Council, Please negotiate a better deal on behalf of Menlo Park residents on the Stanford Middle Plaza project. Stanford's Current Proposed Agreement: - does not meet Stanford's own traffic reduction and monitoring standards in Santa Clara county - does not meet Stanford's own environmental sustainability standards on campus - does not meet standard payments in lieu of taxes of universities their host cities. ((ie: Harvard provides $4.5 million per year to the City of Cambridge. Yale pays $7.5M to New Haven per year. Currently Stanford only proposes to provide $100K per year to the City to offset the impact to local public schools) ) Stanford University is a 1 per-center. They have a ton of money & can well afford to give MP more. It would be disgrace for MP to get so manipulated by Stanford they shouldn't be allowed to get away w/out paying property tax anyway Juliet Carlson 848 15th Ave Menlo Park, CA94025 Sent from my iPhone Received on Tue Sep 26 2017 - 16:45:50 PDT
