Chair Kasulchon 0:03

Welcome to the Planning Commission meeting for May 26th, 2026. Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Chair Kasulchon 0:27

Thank you very much. City Clerk, may we please have the roll call? Commissioner Rao?

Santosh Rao 0:35

Here.

Chair Kasulchon 0:36

Commissioner Linskog? Here. Commissioner Fung? Vice Chair Scharf?

Steven Scharf 0:42

Here.

Chair Kasulchon 0:43

Chair Kasolchon? Present. For the record, Commissioner Fung is absent. Before we proceed, Chair, Vice Chairs, Commissioners, and members of the public, as a reminder, Commissioner Lindskog is participating remotely this evening. We have not heard from any members of the public that they plan to participate in tonight's meeting from Commissioner Lindskog's remote location. Commissioner Lindskog, are you located at C-174, Anad Vihar, Delhi, Delhi, 110092, India? Yes. Can you confirm that you posted the agenda at your location? Yes, I did. Are there any individuals over the age of 18 with you? And has anyone indicated to you that they intend to make public comment or address the commission?

City Clerk 1:32

Nope.

Chair Kasulchon 1:33

As a reminder, we will be having a 15 minute time limit for questions and deliberations. I'll rely on you to notify me if any members of the public wish to speak from your location. Thank you. Okay, thank you. Thank you, so now we'll move to the approval of minutes. Do we have a motion to approve the May 12th, 2026 Planning Commission minutes?

Santosh Rao 1:58

So moved. Second.

Chair Kasulchon 2:04

May we have a vote, please? Commissioner Rao?

Steven Scharf 2:09

Aye.

Chair Kasulchon 2:09

Commissioner Linskog? Yes. Commissioner Fung is absent. Vice Chair Scharf? Aye. Chair Kasulshan? Aye. The motion carries with Commissioner Fung absent. Thank you. So seeing as we have no postponements, we will now move to oral communications. City Clerk, do we have any oral communications?

2:30

Yes.

Chair Kasulchon 2:31

We have one group in person, Robert George. As a reminder, groups get two minutes per participant, so the time for this will be eight minutes.

How were attendance, remote participation, and time limits confirmed?

Robert George 2:47

Good evening. My name is Robert George. I'm a Cupertino resident and homeowner. I respectfully urge the Planning Commission to recognize the proposed capital improvement project allocating $150,000 to implement a pickleball sound attenuation solution at Cupertino Memorial Park.

Chair Kasulchon 3:05

Pardon me. Sorry. If this is about the CIP item, then you would want to make a public comment during that agenda item itself. So that would be very soon, in a few minutes. Yes, but this is for items not on the agenda. Thank you. Thank you. Do we have any other comments? We have no speakers in person and no hands raised on Zoom, Chair. Thank you very much. So we have no old business, we'll move on to new business. This agenda item number two is to discuss capital improvement programs for 2026 to 2027 and just to clarify for all the difference between this and the prior CIP item is that this item is to provide input on the proposed capital improvement plan as opposed to just some conformance with general plan.

Chair Kasulchon 3:58

And before I begin, I did want to just briefly note that we are experimenting in the Planning Commission with time limits of 15 minutes for question and answer for each commissioner. And this is just to make sure that we make the most effective use of the time here and that everyone has a positive experience. And as this is something new that has not really been done before on a commission, we will adjust accordingly and commissioners do have the right to yield time to others if they so choose. Thank you. And so now, do we have a staff report?

City Clerk 4:35

Yes, good evening, Planning Commission. This item is presented from city staff from the Public Works Division Department, and as a result, I have here with us today Chad Mosley and Susan Michael, who is online on Zoom, to present this item.

Chad Mosley 4:53

Good evening, Commission. Chad Mosley, Director of Public Works. Thank you for having us tonight. We are here to speak about our FY26-27 Capital Improvement Program, including the five-year plan. Virtually, I have Susan Michael here, who is our Capital Improvement Program Manager. She'll be presenting from home, but she'll be here to answer questions. And with that stated, I'll hand off the presentation to her until she throws it back at me.

Susan Michael 5:20

Thank you, Director.
