Miller, Mayor City of Saratoga Attest: _______________________ Ann Sullivan, City Clerk  SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE:AGENDA ITEM: April 6, 2011 DEPARTMENT:CITY MANAGER: Public WorksDave Anderson PREPARED BY:DIRECTOR: Kristin BorelJohn Cherbone Public Works Analyst Association of Bay Area Governments Agreement for Local Agency SUBJECT: Participation in the Grant-funded Bay Area-wide Trash Capture Demonstration Project RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the agreement with the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), which will provide trash capture equipment for installation in existing storm drains to comply with the San Francisco Bay Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.The Agreement will be providedat the Council meeting and will be sent separately in electronic format. REPORT SUMMARY: The City was issued a new five year Municipal Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit in October 2009. Provision C.10 of the permit requires municipalities to install and maintain a minimum number of full trash capture devices by July 1, 2014 to treat an area equivalent to 30% of the Retail/Wholesale (commercial) land that drains to the municipal storm sewer system. For each City, the Regional Water Quality Control Board 12 acres, (RWQCB) provided minimum requirements for trash capture catchment areas. For Saratoga, or approximately four storm drains, must be retrofitted with full trash capture devices to meet the permit requirement (see attached map for possible locations). Full trash capture devices are intended to capture trash in the storm drain system and prevent it from being discharged into creeks and the San Francisco Bay. In October 2009, the San Francisco Estuary Partnership (SFEP) was awarded $5 million dollars in federal stimulus funds through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to support the Bay Area-wide Trash Capture Demonstration Project. The Project’s purpose is to allow cities to test different types of full trash capture devices and assist in compliance with the municipal stormwater permit requirements. The project is managed by the staff of SFEP under the sponsorship of ABAG. Page 1of 2  FISCAL IMPACTS: If awarded, the City will receive twenty-one thousand, one hundred two dollars ($21,202) in grant money, which will pay for the purchase and installation of full trash capture devices to meet the permit requirements. There are no City matching funds required. The City will be responsible for the long-term maintenance of the installed units and it is estimated that in order to meet the manufacturer’s recommendations for inspection and cleaning for the useful life of the product (not to exceed 25 years), approximately $1,000 per year will be needed for the four units that will be installed. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): The City would be required to fund the full cost for purchase and installation of the trash capture devices to meet the requirement of the NPDES stormwater permit. ALTERNATIVE ACTION (S): None in addition to the above. FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): The City Manager will execute the agreement with ABAG.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE ASSOCIATION OF BAY AREA GOVERNMENTS (ABAG) FOR LOCAL AGENCY PARTICIPATION IN THE BAY AREA-WIDE TRASH CAPTURE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT WHEREAS,on October 14, 2009 the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) issued a new Municipal Permit (MRP) for stormwater operations; and WHEREAS, the MRP requires the City to install trash capture devices in its storm drain system toreduce trash entering waterways; and WHEREAS, ABAG and the San Francisco Bay Area RWQCB have entered into a Project Finance Agreement No. 09-823-350 for the purchase and installation of trash capture devices; and WHEREAS, The ABAG program offers the City a grant up to $21,102; and WHEREAS, following the approval of this Agreement, City staff will identify high trash- generating locations for the installation of the devices and determine the sufficiency of available funds. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Manager is hereby authorized to execute the Agreement for Local Agency Participation in the Grant Funded Bay Area-wide Trash Capture Demonstration Project, as described in Attachment 1; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that in the event (a) that there are excess funds available following installation of devices at all high trash-generating locations identified by City staff, the City Manager is authorized to release any claim to those funds by the City of Saratoga;and (b) there are insufficient funds available for installation of devices at all high trash-generating locations identified by City staff, the City Manager is authorized to seek and accept additional grant funds on terms and conditionsthat are comparable to those in the grant approved by this Resolution.

BACKGROUND: Recently, the City Clerk brought to the Youth Commission Staff Liaison’s attention the 1972 City Council Resolution establishing a Youth Commission(Attachment “A”).Over the past forty plus years, Council and Staff have veered away from some of the resolution’s key provisions. The most notable points are in regards to: Section1:The Youth Commission “shall consist of eleven (11) members” Section2: The members include eight youths and three adults Section 4: “The Youth Commission shall meet twice a month on a regularly scheduled basis” Section4: “Roberts’ Rules of Order shall be followed” As reference, in other Cities in the surrounding area, Monte Sereno has 12 Youth Commissioners, Los Gatos has 13, Cupertinohas9,and Los Altoshas11,for an average of 11.25 students per Commission (Campbell has no Youth Commission). This report provides background on Council’s 1972“Resolution Creating Youth Commission” and provides recommendations.  DISCUSSION: Number and Composition of Commissioners As illustrated on the chart and graph below, since 2005 the number of Youth Commissioners has steadily grown.There are no adults on the present Commission nor have there been in quite some time.

As illustrated below, frequent absences and late attendance have occurred.

Surprisingly, those present, who normally do not contribute to the discussion, were much more engaged compared to previous meetings when therewas full capacity. In fact, everyone at the reduced attendance meeting spoke and contributed at least one idea, something that does not always occur. Moreover, when it came to assigning tasks for upcoming events, there were not (as there often is) a shortage of duties. In  numerous instances, there are more Commissioners than needed, resulting in a lack of interest and ownership of the project or event. When the Commission is at full capacity, the majority of the discussion takes place amongst a smaller number of commissioners—mainly returning upper-classman. Since there are 19 commissioners, the absence of a small number does not have much impact on the flow and outcome of the meetings.If there were only 8,9,or 10 commissioners, an absent member or two would have greater effect. At a recent meeting, staff brought up this issue to commissioners. Overwhelmingly, the commissioners were in favor of reducing the current size. The comments below reflected how they felt: “No point to have more people if more work isn’t getting done” “Not enough defined roles; people don’t think it is important because they are lost in the crowd.” “If the Commission is smaller, it might be better to meet more often such,as twice a month.” “’Smaller group’forces everyone to be more ‘committed’.” Since the Youth Commission only meets officially nine times during the year, it’s difficult with 19 members to reach goals that were set at the beginning of the school year. Every meeting is precious and since there are so few, much of the business is now taken care of in subcommittee meetings. By reverting to Council’s original intent forthe size of the Commission [but maintaining the diversity in schools and ages represented(Attachment D)], the results would most likely have the following impact: 1.Create a climate that provides more opportunity for discussion; 2.Minimize the potential for only a few members to dominate meetings; 3.Provide sense of ownership since more responsibilities would be placed on fewer commissioners; and 4.Discourage poor attendance as the members’presence would carry greater impact. RECOMMENDATIONS: Composition of the Youth Commission Option 1 –Implement the existingmaximum of 11 If Council decides to apply the original concept of setting the Commission limit to eleven, it would have minimal impact on the interview process. Presently, there are 18 Commissioners (one was removed due to poor attendance; the alternate filled his spot).  Current members:18 Graduating seniors:5 Sub-total13 Concluding terms/eligible to reapply:5 Sub-total8 (currently serving with one year left on their term) Available appointments:3 Total11 In order to fill the three available appointments, Council would open up the interview process to all eligible participants (current members eligible to reapplyand the public). This option is reflected in the attached Resolution(Attachment “B”). Option 2 –Increase themaximum number of appointees If Council decided to appoint one or two additional commissioners, for a total of 12 or 13, the Commission can still retain much of its cohesion. Anything beyond 13 members would defeat the purpose of trying to achieve a smaller, moreefficient Commission. The attached resolution could be amended to specify a higher number. Option 3 –Leave Commission at its current number Amend the attached resolution to authorize 19 members. Meeting Schedule Staff recommends amending Resolution 542-2to call for once a month meetings during the school year with additional meetings called at such other times as the Commission desires. Rules of Procedure Staff also recommends replacing the reference in Resolution 542-2to Roberts Rules of Order with a reference to the City’s standard rules of parliamentary procedure. FISCAL IMPACTS: None. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The Council could direct staff to revise the attached amendment to resolution 542-2 to reflect other preferred options. FOLLOW UP ACTION: Implementamendment to current policy. Revise the application process to reflect the number of positions available.

Miller Mayor ATTEST: ____________________________________ Ann Sullivan City Clerk 2  SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE:AGENDA ITEM: April 6, 2011 DEPARTMENT:CITY MANAGER: City Manager’s OfficeDave Anderson PREPARED BY:DIRECTOR: Barbara Powell Assistant City Manager SUBJECT:Request for Waiver of City-relatedFees for Annual Saratoga Community Band Concert RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept report and direct staff accordingly. REPORT SUMMARY: City staff received arequest from Craig Northrup, Conductor and Music Director for the Saratoga Community Band, for a waiver of the following City-relatedfees on May 22, 2012 in order to hold the free annual Concert in the Park: Reservation of Wildwood Park stage $45.00 Reservation of Wildwood Park picnic area$45.00 $100.00 Event Permit Fee $190.00 Mr. Northrup provided a copy of the attached May 20, 1999 letter from then-City Clerk Susan A. Ramos, waiving future fees and deposits for the annual event. However, current policy is to bring these types of waivers to the City Council, rather than making these determinations at the staff level. The City Council allocated $2,500 for “Community Events –General” in the fiscal year 2010-11 budget. To date, atotal of $1,109.46 has been expended from this account. th If the Council approves the request on this evening’s agenda to grant a waiver of 4of July event fees of $180, theremaining balance in the account will be $1,210.54. If the Council then approves allocating $190.00 to the annual Saratoga Community Band Concert, the remaining balance in the account will be $1,020.54. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends allocating a total of $90.00 to the Recreation & Facilities Department and a total of $100 to the Community Development Department from the “Community Events–General” account to cover City-related fees for the 2011 concert. Further, since the concert is an annual event, staff recommends that the Council consider including a specific allocation in the fiscal year 2011/12 budget to cover City-related expensesrelated for the concert. Page 1of 2  FISCAL IMPACTS: If Council agrees with staff’s recommendation, a total of $190.00would be allocated from the “Community Events –General”account. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mr. Northrupwouldhaveto pay for the above listed City fees. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The Council could decide to waive a portion or all of the City fees listed above. FOLLOW UP ACTION: Undertake Council direction.
