Follow-up on last night's decision on opening Foothills Park to non-residents:

The pilot program can still be blocked, because of the revenue-neutral condition included with the decision.

Let us know what you think of our interpretation. 1) The decision required that the pilot plan be revenue-neutral.
2) But remarks by the Open Space Manager indicated that it would be impossible to make it revenue-neutral.
3) Council will presumably need to vote again on the new pilot plans drafted by the City staff.

Public comment:
Ryan gave a heartwarming testimony about the Foothills discussion and civil rights. Is a long time Caltrain rider. We need it to reduce traffic, reduce emissions. Riders don't care about government squabbles. Send a letter to letters in Congress! Public Comment:
Jamie says that sales tax should be on the ballot. We need Caltrain to be the bridge for our relationships. "Please do everything you can to support Caltrain." Expresses support for Mayor Fine's letter.

Hey Palo Alto!

We're a group of long-time Palo Alto residents who want to make our city work for everyone.

Our city government allocates hundreds of millions of dollars each year on our behalf, and they want to hear from all of us! 1/4 Keeping up with City Council proceedings can be frustrating and time-consuming.

Come visit our website at OpenPaloAlto.org, where we share information that we hope will equip you to weigh in on local decisions that matter to you. 2/4
