City rejects Sunset project
Menlo Park City Council last night decided not to approve the controversial 80 Willow Road skyscraper under a timeline set by the project’s developer and the Attorney General’s office. Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office sent the city a letter on July 28 saying the city improperly changed its reasons for rejecting developer Oisin Heneghan’s proposal for 665 apartments, a hotel,
office space and a preschool across three towers, with the tallest going up to 461 feet. As a result, the letter, and a follow up one by Heneghan asserted the council must approve the project without further review by Oct. 27. “The City Council believes it is important to get this right, even if there are financial consequences and service impacts for the city that may be trig-
gered by our effort to vindicate our rights and protect the Menlo Park community,” Mayor Betsy Nash said. City Attorney Nira Doherty said that council “respectfully disagrees” with the AG’s analysis. Since receiving the AG’s letter, city officials have been researching and analyzing the issues raised in the letter. Nash said the council is “united in
its position” that the AG’s letter is incorrect. “The AG issued its opinion without having the benefit of the city’s extensive knowledge of the property and the history of the development application, and without once inquiring with the city about the background of the application. The council strongly opposes approval of the project under [See SUNSET, page 22]

A day after a group showed up at Redwood City’s council meeting urging the city’s elected officials to publicly discuss the city’s license plate reader security, the city announced yesterday it will take up the issue. About 15 members of a Redwood City group that opposes automatic license plate readers, called Safety Over Surveillance, requested the council schedule town halls about the topic at Monday’s council meeting. In particular, the group wants to talk about security issues raised in a San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury report. “We’ve seen many cities respond with effectively a form letter. To me that doesn’t address the seriousness and concerns that you’ve heard from the community,” Menlo Park resident Will Oursler said.

AI leaders sign pledge President Trump yesterday said he and a large group of leaders of artificial intelligence companies had signed a voluntary accord that will include internal and external reviews during a meeting at the White House aimed at addressing Americans’ fears about the technology. “I think I’m seeing tremendous self-policing. And they understand that they have to self-police,” Trump told reporters during an impromptu press conference outside the West Wing. Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson met with leading executives from top tech firms that are spending hundreds of billions of dollars to build out AI infrastructure, including data centers in communities across the country, which have sparked grassroots, bipartisan opposition. The accord was signed by Trump, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google

Voluntary safety steps The accord, which Trump posted on his social media site, Truth Social, yesterday, opened the door to future regulation but focused on four voluntary steps for the companies to take. The accord said the companies would implement “robust internal controls,” partner with an “independent external auditor” to assess whether the controls were working, and establish a committee within each company’s board of directors to evaluate reports from internal and external auditors. “Over time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws and regulations,” the accord said.

Posey calls Pride hats flap a lesson
Buster Posey said yesterday that the San Francisco Giants must learn from their handling of the club’s annual Pride Night in June, when several players added Bible verses to their rainbow-themed caps. The display drew criticism from progressive fans in the Bay Area and elsewhere, while the team’s handling of the situation was also condemned by Republican politicians in Washington. It added to the embarrassment of another season without a playoff berth. “Any time you have a situation like that, it’s always an opportunity to learn,” Posey, the Giants’ president of baseball operations, said in a press conference two days after the end of San Francisco’s season. “I think that’s the steps we take is, as you look back on that, is you reflect and you say, ‘what could have been done differently?’ and you try to learn from that and move on.”

Communication failure Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred issued a warning to players afterward that writing on the caps is a violation of league policy. Players were supposed to be told that wearing the rainbow-themed hats was optional, but Manfred said in a letter to Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley that the “Giants’ communica-
tion with players was inadequate and not clear.” Starting pitcher Landen Roupp and relievers JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker added Bible verses to the themed caps for the June 12 game. Reliever Sam Hentges chose not to wear the hat at all in favor of the Giants’ regular black version with the “SF” in orange. Manager Tony Vitello said yesterday that the team needs better communication internally both in the clubhouse and beyond to avoid something like this happening again — and the organization shares that message. “I think a general theme with any of the topics of what came up this year, questions that have already been asked and might be asked, is communication needs to be at the highest level possible,” said Vitello, whose team had a 65-97 record in his first season coming from the University of Tennessee and a year after the Giants finished 81-81 and fired Bob Melvin.
Bader’s scooter injury Posey and Vitello also had to deal with the aftermath of outfielder Harrison Bader’s early morning scooter accident in July during which he aggravated his injured left foot and then had his pay suspended for the remainder of the season.

Mountain View City Manager Kimbra McCarthy yesterday announced she has selected a longtime city employee as her new deputy. McCarthy has selected Assistant Community Development Director Lindsay Hagan as the HAGAN new deputy city manager. Hagan has worked for the city for 15 years, and began her career with the city some 18 years ago as a planning intern, according to the city’s statement from spokeswoman Lenka Wright. Hagan will work on special projects in the city manager’s office including representing the city in major land use
and contract negotiations, helping the city council set its priorities and leading multiple projects related to downtown. Hagan will also work on a possible 2028 tax measure the city is eyeing, according to Wright. Hagan has previously worked as the city’s deputy zoning administrator and worked for Burbank as a planner. She holds a master’s degree in planning from University of Southern California and a bachelor’s in sociology from Occidental College. Hagan’s new salary was not immediately available yesterday, but according to an online posting for the job, the position can make between $206,484 to $309,727 annually.

ON MEASURE
J
VOTERS OF PALO ALTO: DO NOT BE HUSTLED.
Don’t let the cynically manipulative language of Measure J fool you. Measure J does NOT set aside funds for developing Cubberley. What it does—and all it does—is permanently raise the sales tax to 10.25%. The money goes straight to City Hall to spend on anything it likes. Maybe that’s on Cubberley. Or maybe that’s on consultants and staff travel. Please read the Measure in your ballot. You’ll see, nothing in it locks in so much as a single dime for Cubberley. To finance the development of Cubberley, the City should propose a one-time Special Tax or Bond Measure, the funds from which are mandated to be spent on the project. Don’t write the City a blank check.

BAY CHORAL GUILD:
Rich Repertoire From an Outstanding Ensemble From cathedral classics to contemporary master works, the Bay Choral Guild offers a rich and varied repertoire that keeps the timeless experience of choral music alive for Peninsula audiences. Now starting rehearsals for its 48th season, the Bay Choral Guild (BCG) is a 35-voice, auditioned chorus based in Palo Alto with singers from around the Bay Area. They have been led for 27 years by Artistic Director Sanford Dole, a conductor, composer and singer who has performed with, and had his pieces performed by, many of the region’s leading ensembles. The volunteer group puts on three programs a year and is known for offering well-produced programs at an advanced level with a variety of repertoire, Dole said. “We are a wonderful community resource, both for singers and audiences interested in getting a thoughtful program produced at a high level that will be moving and inspiring,” he said. “Advent of Light,” the group’s first program this year, will
celebrate both the season of advent and the return of light promised by the winter solstice. Performances will be held Dec. 4 and 6. The program will feature settings of the seven” O Antiphons,” Gregorian chants of the Catholic church dating back to at least the eighth century, as well as works about light, including Eric Whitacre’s modern choral masterpiece, Lux Aurumque (“Light and Gold.”) That span of more than 1,000 years is no accident. Dole said that over the course of an individual season, he tries to include pieces from as many eras as possible. “For a group like this I like to hit all the different eras of music so both the singers and audience get a satisfying survey,” he said. “Early, Classical, Romantic, and a healthy dose of contemporary, by which I mean anything written in the last 50-75 years.” For the March concerts, Dole was inspired by the period of the Spanish and Portuguese Renaissance and the incredible cultural mix of Christian, Jewish and Muslim influences of the period. Almost the entire first half of
the pieces will be from the 1600s, while the second half will contrast them with contemporary pieces from living Spanish and Portuguese composers. In June, their final program Sanford Dole of the season artistic director will cover three mid-20thcentury choral gems accompanied by organ, harp, and percussion: Maurice Duruflé’s “Requiem,” Leonard Bernstein’s “Chichester Psalms,” and Bryan Kelly’s “Magnificat.” These “Cathedral classics” are all beloved by singers and audiences alike, said Dole. Before each concert, Dole offers a 20-minute talk illuminating the program and its inspiration. Performance venues this year are the Campbell United Methodist Church, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Palo Alto and the First Congregational Church of Palo Alto.

What does state’s insurance chief do? ance companies, consumer advocacy groups, fire survivors and more. “Your role is not to be friend or foe, except (be a friend) to the California consumer,” said Lucy Wang, former special counsel for the insurance department under Lara.

Setting policy and regulations The commissioner sets policy and implements new rules — many of which affect consumers’ wallets — either through the regulatory process or by working with state lawmakers on legislation. Several years ago, some insurance companies stopped writing or renewing policies in California after a slew of massive and deadly wildfires led to a huge number of expensive claims. The companies complained that the rates they were charging didn’t match their risk, and that the insurance department approved rate increases too slowly. State lawmakers tried to pass legislation to address those issues. When they

NEWS some, and would require new experts and expenses. Some public advocacy groups, including Public Citizen, support Lara’s proposed rule. In public comments, a representative from the group urged the department to go further, including by establishing specific requirements for how insurers should report climate-related risks. In another example of how the commissioner’s authority can directly affect consumers’ bottom lines, in July a California appeals court upheld Lara’s right to continue letting insurance companies use drivers’ marital status as an optional factor in setting rates, which has been allowed since 1996, under regulations added by former Commissioner Chuck Quackenbush. Unmarried drivers have been found to pay more for auto insurance, consumer groups have said. The case is expected to be appealed and could reach the California Supreme Court.
After the Tunnel Fire in the Oakland Hills in 1991, many homeowners discovered they were under-insured. The commissioner at the time, John Garamendi, pressured insurance companies to provide an extra $300 million of coverage. Now a U.S. congressman, Garamendi was seen as a fierce consumer advocate who was combative with the insurance industry — an approach that worked in some cases but not in others. Survivors of the Los Angeles fires in January 2025, many of whom are still trying to rebuild, called on Lara to step down late last year. Frustrated by claims delays, they criticized the insurance department for not being helpful enough after the fires. “Fire survivors are 100% right that the way they’re treated is wrong,” said Amy Bach, executive director of consumer advocacy group United Policyholders. But she added that the department cannot do much about many insurance industry practices such as insurers assigning survivors multiple Holding insurers accountable adjusters, nor can it adjudicate policyThe commissioner can examine in- holders’ claims and disputes with their surance companies’ conduct and ask insurers. them to make changes, or work with “The reality is that (the department) the Legislature on shaping new laws to cannot stand in the shoes of a private compel them to do so. attorney,” Bach said.

HPV vaccine may shift to one dose
Preteens may soon have something to celebrate: Medical experts are discussing the possibility that one dose of a life-saving cancer vaccine, instead of two, may be enough to protect them. U.S. vaccination recommendations have become splintered in the past year, with federal officials and doctors’ organizations disagreeing over guidance and even battling each other in court. But both sides have been exploring revisions in longstanding HPV vaccine recommendations. “This would be a significant shift in terms of what has been communicated for many years about the best way to protect adolescents against HPV,” said Jason Schwartz, a Yale University vaccine policy researcher.
Single dose push In January, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ordered the number of recommended HPV doses to be reduced to one, as part of a unilateral reduction of the childhood vaccination schedule. That change was blocked by a federal judge’s order, but it actually is something that medical experts had been considering for some time. Leading cause of cancer The idea gained attention late last HPV, human papillomavirus, is the year with the publication of a study most common sexually transmitted in- in Costa Rica that tracked more than fection in the U.S. 20,000 girls over five years. It found a More than 40 HPV types can infect single HPV shot provided about 97% the genital areas of men and women, protection against cervical cancer, simplus the lining of the mouth and throat. ilar to two doses. Certain strains are responsible for most Despite this, experts right now still cases of genital warts. advise that kids get two shots.

HPV also is a leading cause of the nearly 50,000 cancer cases diagnosed in the U.S. each year that affect those parts of the body. Indeed, about 90% of cervical cancer and anal cancers are attributed to HPV infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Study: Maui fires caused lung harm
Metal mixtures found in the leftover smoke, ash and debris from the deadly 2023 Maui wildfires were harmful to the lung health of people living nearby long after the burning ended, a new study says. The work shows that major wildfires, which are worsening with the planet’s warming, could have lasting effects beyond immediate exposure. Post-wildfire air quality needs to be monitored longer term, the research suggests, and recovery efforts need to consider what might remain in contaminated soot, residue and dirt well after burning stops. The wildfires, caused by wind spreading a brushfire spurred by downed pow-
er lines, burned on the Hawaiian island of Maui in August 2023, destroyed the town of Lahaina and killed more than 100 people. They were among the deadliest in U.S. history. Higher metal levels found New research published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday found higher metal levels, associated with respiratory harm, in nearby residents up to a year and a half after the fires. University of Hawaii researchers studied the urine of 1,400 adults and found substantially elevated concentrations of metals such as arsenic, cadmium, copper and antimony.

the terms in the AG’s letter. This massive commercial development would severely compound infrastructure challenges in Menlo Park, endanger emergency services’ response times, and exacerbate the existing jobs-housing imbalance. The project does not deliver the housing that Menlo Park needs, contrary to the very purpose of the Builder’s Remedy Law,” Nash said.
Liccardo’s letter Last week, the Post reported that Congressman Sam Liccardo asked the U.S. Department of Treasury to look into potential sanctions against 80 Willow Road property owner Vitaly Yusufov and his father. A sanctions designation could stop development of Yusufov’s 39-story tower at the former Sunset Magazine headquarters in Menlo Park. “Public sources raise serious questions about Vitaly Yusufov’s ties to the Russian government and individuals linked to organized crime, warranting immediate review by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS), and, ultimately, consideration for sanctions,” Liccardo said in his letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Vitaly Yusufov bought the seven-acre property in 2019 through his LLC, Willow Project. He plans to develop the site into 665 apartments, a hotel, office space and a preschool across three towers, with the tallest going up to 461 feet. Yusufov faces sanctions in Ukraine, while his father, former Russian Energy Minister under Russian President Vladimir Putin, Igor Yusufov, also faces sanctions in Ukraine and in Canada. Liccardo argues in his letter that because the property is in Silicon Valley, with many major tech companies in the vicinity, Yusufov and other possible owners should be looked into due to national security concerns. A representative from Bessent’s office declined to comment on Liccardo’s letter.

trict. However, the tax, which requires a simple majority to pass, which means the money could go into the city’s general fund and be used on something else. San Mateo County measures Voters across San Mateo County will weigh in on four changes to the county’s charter, or it’s ruling document. • Measures L and AA asks voters if long-term resilience to extreme weather and the county’s commitment to the dignity, civil rights and equal protections of residents ought to be included in the charter as a county priority, • Measure J would extend the amount of time that the Board of Supervisors has before it is forced to call a special election of make an appointment to a vacant office such as sheriff, district attorney, controller or coroner. This comes in the wake of the board having to make a fast decision whether or not to appoint the county’s sheriff following the firing of Christina Corpus. Under the new rules, the time limit will be extended from 30 days to 60 days and require on public meeting to hear from residents before any appointment. • Measure U asks residents whether the county ought to have an independent redistricting commission to divvy up the supervisorial districts after each federal census.
Belmont tax Measure Y The tax, which needs a simple majority of votes to pass, proposes collecting 33 cents per square foot of residential improvements and 54 cents per square foot of non-residential improvements. The revenue will bring in $7.1 million annually. The measure was placed on the ballot after over 1,750 residents signed a petition to put the tax on the ballot aimed to rebuild the Barrett Community Center at 1835 Belburn Drive. The space holds a preschool and daycare, and includes weekly sports events and recreational classes.
East Palo Alto bond Measure O East Palo Alto voters will decide in November whether to fund the building of new amenities like a city hall, library and police department. The $125 million bond must be approved by two-thirds of the voters, and they would be taxed $105.26 per $100,000 of assessed value. If passed, the bonds would raise around $8.9 million each year. The city is looking to build a new 100,000-square-foot civic center at 2535 Pulgas Ave. Complete with a new library, community space and city hall. There are also plans to build a 20,000-square-foot police department with an emergency operations center and a track and field area nearby. If the bond is approved by over 50% of voters, $35 million would be set aside for improving drinking water and storm drain infrastructure. EPA term limits Measure CC East Palo Alto’s mayor, Webster Lincoln, is the lone signer in favor of a ballot measure limiting council members to 12 years of consecutive service, while those against the measure believe this would only limit the people’s choice. Termed-out members would be able to run after two years. The measure needs a simple majority to pass. Two of the city’s councilmen, Ruben Abrica and Carlos Romero, have been on and off the council for decades. This ballot measure is seen to target the two elder statesmen as they do not agree with Lincoln or councilmembers Mark Dinan or Martha Barragan. Menlo Park Measure P Residents will be deciding the fate of three cityowned downtown parking lots, which the city wants to turn into subsidized apartments to meet state housing requirements. A yes vote would force council to put the issue on the ballot. A no vote would allow the City Council to continue on with its plan to redevelop the lots. Either side needs over 50% of the vote.

the town will become a charter town, meaning it would enforce and draft its own local laws while remaining consistent with the state and federal constitutions. The measure will also authorize a real estate property transfer tax to bail out the town’s suffering finances. If approved by a majority of voters, they will be taxed $10 per $1,000 of a property's sales price. RWC rent control Measure E A citizen’s initiative calls for applying rent control to multi-unit housing built before 1995 and capping rent increases at 60% of the consumer price index increase for a given year and no more than 5% of a tenant’s current rent. The state already has rent control that limits annual increases to 5% plus the annual cost of living or a maximum of 10%, whichever is lower. The measure needs a majority vote to pass. Enforcement of rent control will require the city to create a new department staffed by a program administrator, hearing examiners, housing counselors, experts offering tenants legal services and bureaucrats to handle the paperwork the measure will generate. The money for this new program will be paid by landlords. The cost will be $120 per apartment.

Redwood City’s contract with Flock Safety expires this year, and the city has been seeking out potential vendors to maintain its 25 cameras which residents also spoke out against during the meeting. Council is tentatively slated to discuss awarding a new license plate reader contract on Nov. 9, according to a list of possible council agenda items. “Real community safety does not come from surveillance, instead the opposite. The loss of privacy harms us all. Especially those higher at risk, like our immigrant neighbors,” Clara Jaeckel, a member of the police advisory committee, said.
Latest one Redwood City is the latest entity to bring up the matter of Flock. Last month, a group of residents asked Menlo Park to reconsider its contract with Flock.

NEED FRIDAY NIGHT PLANS IN MENLO PARK? Fourth Friday fills downtown with live music on Oct. 23 featuring multiple bands spread across Santa Cruz Ave., from Camper to the 600-Block Plaza, with a special stage at Middle Plaza off El Camino Real only in September. Music runs from 6 to 9 p.m., is designed for the whole family, and is free to all! It’s funded by neighbors and local businesses through the Downtown Menlo Fund, a community nonprofit. Come for the music, grab dinner downtown, wander between sets and enjoy a chance to connect with the community. Photo by Bryson Washington. “YOU CANNOT GET A BAD steak here unless the steer absolutely refuses to cooperate!” Galen Fletcher, owner of Sundance The Steakhouse said this with a smile as he cut into a thick, juicy New York steak. It comes served with a baked potato and steamed veggies at no extra charge. Prime rib is the speciality of the house in this family-owned restaurant but the New York strip, double-cut filet mignon and ribeye steaks all run a close second. No a la carte meals in this classic American restaurant. It has a world-class wine list and desserts that should not be missed. Check it out at 1921 El Camino Real in Palo Alto. Call (650) 321-6798 or visit the website for more information. See what it takes to stay in the restaurant business for over 50 years.
