Mayor's Cup Challenge

After opening the Cupertino Library expansion April 29, Mayor Darcy Paul and the city council are hosting the inaugural Mayor's Cup Challenge May 14 in the library's new event rooms.

The community event, set for 10 a.m.-2 p.m., is designed to challenge invited speakers and community members to think about a complex social problem from different perspectives. This year will focus on plastics and what to do about the growing environmental issues associated with them through the lenses of science, policy, industry and art.

This event is free, but registration is required to cupertino.org/mayorscupchallenge.

Plan to end homelessness

Cupertino's draft City Plan to End Homelessness is available for public review through June 3 at cupertino. org/cphomelessness.

Public comments on the draft plan be submitted to housing@cupertino. org. The Draft City Plan is set to be reviewed by the

Housing Commission and City Council in late spring.
