Have you participated in any of the following programs offered by Silicon Valley Power? Select all that apply. (Press the Ctrl button to select additional options) Other - I have lived in Santa Clara for more than 6 months and am not aware of these programs or at least any that apply to me.
Please let us know what programs you would like SVP to have that we don’t already offer. Advocate for yourselves and make the areas you service more aware of your benefits above PG&E. PG&E is a known lobby and most Californians don't trust them, their rates or worse - they know people whom PG & E has harmed or taken the lives of.

Do you own or operate a business in the City of Santa Clara? Yes
Do you work in the City of Santa Clara? Yes
Do you have any questions or comments for us? Rates are great and reliability has been great. PG & E is a villain/monopoly. How can Silicon Valley Power change the reputation of power companies here and normalize safety, transparency & sustainability without becoming another PG&E?

Should the City consider a change to the position of Chief of Police from elected to appointed in the City Charter? No
Do you have any additional comments you would like to provide regarding the Chief of Police position? Keep your hands off MY vote for police chief. This is my decision and my vote - not yours. Why do you want to decide for me? You continue to think you should decide for me and not the residents of the city of Santa Clara.
Should the City consider a change to the position of City Clerk from elected to appointed in the City Charter? No
Is there any additional information and/or factors you would like the Committee to consider in making their final recommendations to the City Council? MY VOTE, NOT YOURS. The city council should keep the city charter as is. Don't touch my city charter and my vote. City council continue to show just how corrupt they have become.

Should the City consider a change to the position of Chief of Police from elected to appointed in the City Charter? Undecided
Do you have any additional comments you would like to provide regarding the Chief of Police position? I think there should be a police committee made up of community residents to decide who the appropriate candidates for chief of police would be. They would offer a list of candidates and the council who would make the final decision. That would allow for both community and council input rather than making it a political event. It should never be decided by a single person.

Do you have any questions or comments for us? I have no trouble paying extra for electricity to accelerate sustainability. One way to do that equitably would be to bring back something like the Green Power Program. Another way would be to establish a tiered rate structure.

Do you have any additional comments you would like to provide regarding the Chief of Police position? This process is completely rigged. The impetus for this did not come from the general population; it was imposed from the top down by Jed York's stooges on the City Council.
