Awesome Neighbors.. The Cohen letter that came out today does not mention anything about meeting with the city's lawyer and/or if the lawyer determined whether or not the Noble site is a dedicated charter park. Also, in the letter, these words "the most effective way to change the EIHC site selection from Noble is to find an alternative site in D4" does nothing to guarantee the Noble site has, is, or will be legally, officially, publicly removed as an option. The outcome from their meeting verifies we need to keep our momentum strong in getting our Noble site declared a dedicated charter park. It is the only way to safeguard our future. Keep doing everything you can to keep our message strong and our team growing in numbers and alliances. Robert and I passed out several hundred flyers yesterday at the Target Mall Parking Lot on McKee. People are still just learning about this, grateful to learn about it, and ready to join us at the Chambers on Aug 23rd at 6:30pm. We are in it to WIN IT! Tomorrow we will post our strategy for the Aug 23rd city council chamber protest. Start putting your 1 -2 minute heart felt speech together for open forum. We are being seen and heard by the city council, citizens of san jose, our community, neighbors, our friends, our families, and especially our children.
Blessings, Robert & Sandra

Dear San Jose District 4 residents,
During the August 3rd Rules meeting and the August 9th Council meeting, there was discussion
of future actions and potential dates for council discussion. These discussions may have created
expectations of specific future milestones. To be clear, the most effective way to change the EIHC
site selection from Noble is to find an alternative site in D4. My mission is to work with city staff
to select an alternative site so that reconsideration of the site does not have to return to council
at all.
My office has been working closely with staff ensuring all their efforts are focused on
evaluating alternative sites suggested by my office and members of the community. I am no
longer waiting for any determination by the city as to whether the Noble site qualifies as a
charter protected park. This action is simply not necessary to accomplish our mission.
We will continue to work with the City Manager’s Office to determine the viability of other
sites and all communication regarding these sites will come directly from the City Manager's
Office. My staff is also working on a Frequently Asked Questions section for our newly launched
website, and we will let you know as soon as it is live.
With the combination of your advocacy and my office's work at City Hall we are confident
that we will be successful. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with your
neighborhood to improve the park.
I thank you for your patience and partnership as we work together to resolve your concerns.
