of the new Saratoga Heritage Tree Society.
The first project initiated by the Society has been to identifY 20 significant trees (whether because
of size, age, beauty or history) and have been chosen as the first 20 heritage trees in Saratoga.
This selection process began with a notice in the Saratoga News that had asked for nominations
of trees easily visible to the public. A group of four judges visited each site of the nominated
trees. 20 were chosen from those nominations. The following is the list of the first Heritage Trees
of Saratoga:
. Aloha Oak

Dear Mayor:
The U. S. Congress established the Days of Remembrance as our nation's annual
commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust and created the United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum as a permanent living memorial to those victims.
In accordance with its Congressional mandate, the Museum will again lead the
nation in the annual Days of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust. This
year's observances will take place from Sunday, April 23 through Sunday, April
30,2006. The Day of Remembrance, Yom Hashoah, is April 25.
The Museum has designated "Legacies of Justice" as the theme for the 2006
Days of Remembrance in honor of the courage of, and the precedents set by, those
who testified during the trials of Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg and other
locations immediately after World War II. The theme also pays tribute to those
who work tirelessly for the cause of justice, both then and now. Reflection on the
prosecution of Nazi perpetrators reminds us that we must take action to prevent
atrocities and vigorously pursue justice for the victims of such acts of hatred and
inhumanity.
We respectfully encourage you to commemorate the Days of Remembrance with
appropriate ceremonies and programs and to issue, as your office has done in the J
past, a special Days of Remembrance Proclamation for distribution to your
constituents. A sample is enclosed for your consideration along with a
background piece on the theme is enclosed. For further information on Days of
Remembrance you may wish to visit the Museum's website at www.ushmm.org.
Situated among our national monuments to freedom, the Museum is both a
memorial to the past and a living reminder of the moral obligatious of individuals
and societies. 1brough educational activities, programs for leaders, and global
outreach, the Museum works to ensure that all generatious, now and in the future,
leam the timely and urgent lessons of the Holocaust.
In today's troubled world the lessons of the Holocaust are more urgent than ever.
We are grateful for your leadership and support in this important endeavor.
Sincerely,
Fred S. Zeidman

"FROM LIBERATION TO THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE"
. Whereas, the Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and
annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between
1933 and 1945. Jews were the primary victims - six million were murdered;
Gypsies, the handicapped, and Poles were also targeted for destruction or
decimation for racial, ethnic, or national reasons. Millions more, including
homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war and political
dissidents, also suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi tyranny.
.
Whereas, the history of the Holocaust offers an opportunity to reflect on the moral
responsibilities of individuals, societies, and governments; and
--
. Whereas, we the people of the City of should always remember the
terrible events of the Holocaust and remain vigilant against hatred, persecution,
and tyranny, and
. Whereas, we the people of the City of should actively rededicate
ourselves to the principles of individual freedom in a just society; and
. Whereas, the Days of Remembrance have been set aside for the people of the City
of to remember the victims of the Holocaust as well as to reflect on
the need for respect of all peoples; and
. Whereas, pursuant to an Act of Congress (Public Law 96-388, October 7, 1980)
the United States Holocaust Memorial Council designates the Days of
Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust to be Sunday, April 23 through
Sunday, April 30, 2006 including the international Day of Remembrance known
as Yom Hashoah, April 25;
~
Now, therefore, I , Mayor of , do hereby proclaim the week
of Sunday, April 23 through Sunday, April 30, 2006 as Days of Remembrance in
memory ofthe victims of the Holocaust, and in honor of the survivors, as well as the
rescuers and liberators, and further proclaim that we, as citizens of the City of
, should strive to overcome intolerance and indifference through learning and
remembrance.
"Legacies of Justice"
Days of Remembrance
April 23-30, 2006
-
"A single landmark of justice and honor does not make a world of peace. "
Former U.S. Secretary of War Henry Stimson
January 1947
The United States Congress established the Days of Remembrance as our nation's annual
commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust, and created the United States Holocaust Memorial
Museum as a permanent living memorial to those victims.
This year, the Days of Remembrance fall between Sunday, April 23 and Sunday, April 30, 2006,
with Holocaust Remembrance Day observed on April 25. The theme for this year's commemoration is
"Legacies of Justice," in honor of the courage of, and the precedents set by, those who testified during the
trials of Nazi war criminals. The theme also pays tribute to those who tirelessly work for the cause of
justice, both then and now. Today, more than ever before, individual and communal willingness to seek
justice after the Holocaust serves as a powerful example of how our nation can - and must - respond to
unprecedented crimes. We must vigorously pursue justice for the victims of such acts of hatred and
inhumanity, not only for their sake but for the sake of present and future generations.
The Holocaust was an unprecedented crime - millions of murders, wrongful imprisonments, and
tortures, rape, theft, and destruction. In the immediate aftermath ofthe Holocaust, the world was faced
with a challenge - how to seek justice for an almost unimaginable scale of criminal behavior. The
International Military Tribunal (IMT) held at Nuremberg, Germany, attempted to meet this immense
challenge on a legal basis. This year, we mark the 60th anniversary of the IMT, a watershed moment in
international justice. The commemoration of this anniversary coincides with numerous atrocities
perpetrated in our world today - crimes that again challenge us to ask: can justice ever be done?
Nazi Germany planned and implemented the Holocaust under the cover of World War II. It was in
this context that the IMT was created, a trial of judgment for war crimes. The IMT was not a court
convened to mete out punishment for the Holocaust alone. The tribunal was designed to document and
redress crimes committed in the course of the most massive conflict the world has ever known.
The Holocaust was, in the legal language of the IMT, "a crime against humanity." Convened within
months of the end of the war, from November 20, 1945 until the verdicts were delivered on October 1,
1946, the tribunal at Nuremberg set precedents: in international law, in documentation of the historical
record - in seeking some beginning, however inadequate, in a search for justice.
While many top Nazi leaders, including Hitler, Himmler, and Goebbels, committed suicide in the
final days of the Nazi regime, twenty-one major war criminals were prosecuted in what would become the
best-known post-World War II trial, the International Military Tribunal (IMT) held at the Palace of Justice
in Nuremberg, Germany. Convened by the Allied powers--the United States, Great Britain, France, and the
Soviet Union--IMT prosecutors based their case primarily on documents written by the Germans
themselves. Nevertheless, courageous Holocaust survivors offered critical testimony before the IMT.
David Wajnapel, a Polish Jew, provided evidence about the death march from the Majdanek camp. Shmuel
Rajzman, a Polish Jew deported to Treblinka in August 1942, offered firsthand descriptions of the
operation of that killing center. Members ofliberating armies also testified at the trial. Capt. John Barnett,
and other officers from the U.S. Army Signal Corps, testified to the authenticity of photos taken when tbeir
troops overran concentration camps.
By its charter, the IMT was given the authority "to try and punish persons who acting in the interest
of the European Axis countries" committed one of these four newly-defined categories of crime:
. Count One: conspiracy---engaging in a conspiracy to commit crimes against the peace, war
crimes, and crimes against humanity. The conspiracy charge and the indictment of specific German
and Nazi organizations as defendants before the tribunal set a legal framework for future
prosecution of individuals belonging to those organizations that the Tribunal judged to be criminal.
. Count Two: crimes against peace--planning and waging aggressive war.

noted Nazi hunter, in 1971 tracked down Klaus Barbie, who had been responsible for the arrest and
deportation of Jews from France.
Evidence collected for the IMT pointed to a man named Adolf Eichmann as the key figure behind
the planning and implementation of the "Final Solution" to murder the Jews of Europe. Eichmann had
eluded capture after the war. In 1960, Eichmann was living in Argentina with his wife and three sons,
when Israeli agents kidnapped him and flew him to Israel to stand trial. During the trial in Jerusalem,
numerous survivors testified about their experiences during the Holocaust. Mordechai Ansbacher, a
German Jewish teenager at the time of his deportation, testified about conditions in the Theresienstadt
ghetto. A viva Fleishmann testified about the deportation of Hungarian Jews to the Auschwitz killing center
and about forced marches from Budapest into southern Austria. The impassioned statements of ghetto
fighters such as Zivia Lubetkin and Jewish partisan fighters like Abba Kovner generated interest in Jewish
armed resistance. The trial also prompted a new openness among many Holocaust survivors, some of
whom for the first time felt empowered to share their experiences with a new generation.
Eichmann was indicted on 15 counts, including crimes against humanity and crimes against the
Jewish people. He was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to death, the only time the State of Israel
has invoked capital punishment. The televised Eichmann trial provoked international attention and
controversy as well as a reexamination not only of the crimes of the Holocaust, but also of the perpetrators,
and the very nature of evil.
Today, 60 years after the IMT, the body of international law addressing crimes against humanity
has grown dramatically. There are now special international tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for
genocide in Rwanda. The framework, and the guiding vocabulary, for these courts rests in significant part
on legal precedents established at Nuremberg.
The search for justice requires more than punishment of the guilty. We honor the memory of those
who suffered and perished during the Holocaust by working towards a world of justice and peace. Drawing
attention to the voices of victims of oppression and genocide - whether they be Holocaust survivors or
those fleeing the genocide taking place today in Darfur, Sudan - is one of the chief legacies of the justice
sought at Nuremberg.

HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY
2006 - 2015
Holocaust Remembrance Day is a day that has been set aside for remembering the victims of the
Holocaust and for reminding Americans of what can happen to civilized people when bigotry,
hatred and indifference reign. The United States Holocaust Memorial Council, created by act of
Congress in 1980, was mandated to lead the nation in civic commemorations and to encourage
appropriate Remembrance observances throughout the country. Observances and Remembrance
activities can occur during the week of Remembrance that runs from the Sunday before through
the Sunday after the actual date.
While there are obvious religious aspects to such a day, it is not a religious observance as such.
The internationally-recognized date comes from the Hebrew calendar and corresponds to the 27th
day of Nisan on that calendar. That is the date on which Israel commemorates the victims of the
Holocaust. In Hebrew, Holocaust Remembrance Day is called Yom Hashoah.

The Holocaust is not merely a story of destruction and loss; it is a story of an apathetic world and
a few rare individuals of extraordinary courage. It is a remarkable story of the human spirit and
the life that flourished before the Holocaust, struggled during its darkest hours, and ultimately
prevailed as survivors rebuilt their lives.
We encourage you to join with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in observing the
Days of Remembrance. For further information, please contact: Days of Remembrance, United
States Holocaust Memorial Museum, 100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, S.W., Washington, DC

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
r
.
SUBJECT: Treasurer's Report for the Month Ended February 2006
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council accepts the monthly Treasurer's Report.
REPORT SUMMARY
California government code section 41004 requires that the City Treasurer (the Municipal Code
of the City of Saratoga, Article 2-20, Section 2-20.035, designates the City Manager as the City
Treasurer) submit to the City Clerk and the legislative body a written report and accounting of all
receipts, disbursements, and fund balances.
r-
41004. Regularly, at least once each month, the city treasurer shall submit to the city
clerk a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances.
He shall file a copy with the legislative body.
Additionally with the passage of Chapter 687, Statutes of 2000 (AB 943 Dutra), effective
January I, 2001 cities are now required to forward copies of their second and fourth quarter
calendar year investment portfolio reports to the California Debt and Investment Advisory
Commission (CDIAC) within 60 days.
The CDIAC will use the report as an additional opportunity to examine public investment
practices in a more consistent basis than before.
Cities, such as the City of Saratoga, that are 100 percent invested in the Local Agency Investment
Fund (LAIF) are exempt from the new investment portfolio reporting requirements and are only
required to send a letter to CDIAC indicating the total and composition of their investments.
This Treasurer's Report will satisfY our reporting requirement to the CDIAC.
r-
The following pages in the attachment provide various financial data and analysis for the City of
Saratoga's Funds collectively as well as specifically for the City's General (Operating) Fund,

ORIGINATING DEPT: City Manager's Office CITY MANAGER: 0?..7 /JI'
PREPARED BY:
DEPT HEAD:
Dave Anderson, City Manager
SUBJECT: Agency Agreement for Countywide AB 939 Implementation Fee and for
Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize City Manager to execute agreement for Increase in the Countywide AB 939
Implementation Fee and for Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Services.
REPORT SUMMARY:
BACKGROUND
r The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB939) and subsequent legislation
required cities and counties to prepare, adopt, and implement plans to reduce their jurisdiction's
waste disposed in landfills by 50% by 2000 and to plan and implement programs to properly
manage HHW. Jurisdictions are required to maintain their mandated diversion level in
subsequent years, to submit annual reports to document compliance with diversion mandates and
implementation of their recycling/waste diversion and HHW plans, and to periodically update
their adopted and state-approved plans.
The Integrated Waste Management (IWM) Division is responsible for meeting Santa Clara
County's countywide and unincorporated area mandated responsibilities under AB939, except for
HHW services, which are the responsibility of the Department ofEnviroumentaI Health, HHW
Program.
IWM collects the AB939 Fee to fund activities to comply with state mandates and related
jurisdiction and/or County established goals. The AB939 Fee is collected on behalf of the
jurisdictions of Santa Clara County. AB939 Fee revenues fund HHW services, and a portion is
distributed to jurisdictions to fund jurisdiction-specific programs required for meeting mandated
waste diversion goals.
r.
Because IWM collects the AB939 Fee on behalf of other jurisdictions, each jurisdiction contracts
with the County for collection and distribution of these funds. All fifteen cities must approve'the
Agency Agreement for Countywide AB939 Implementation Fee by July 1, 2006, In the event that
one or more jurisdictions fails to approve the agreement, the AB939 Fee increase would not be
collected. City staff has indicated support for the proposed reauthorization for three years and an
increase in the AB939 Fee for a one-year period.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), adjustment of the
Countywide AB939 Implementation Fee is a categorical exemption under Section 15308 and is a
statutory exemption under Section 15273 of CEQA.
Implementation Fee:
-./
The County has collected the AB939 Fee on behalf of all jurisdictions within the County since
July 1992 on behalf of the jurisdictions of Santa Clara County. Fee revenues are distributed to
jurisdictions quarterly for the purpose of funding jurisdiction-specific programs required for
meeting AB939 waste stream diversion goals.
The attached Agency Agreement for Countywide AB 939 Implementation Fee provides for
continued collection of the AB939 Fee for a three-year term beginning July I, 2006. The
Agreement also increases the AB 939 Fee by.$0.37 per ton inFY 2007, for a total of$3.72 per
ton for a period of one year (July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007) and returns it to $3.35 in FY 2008
and 2009. Dfthe $3.72 Fee $2.22 per ton will fund countywide household hazardous waste
(HHW) services the remaining $1.50 per ton will be paid to jurisdictions to fund other AB 939
compliance activities. The rerun of the AB 939 Fee to $3.35 per ton will fund HHW activities at
$1.85 per ton with the remaining $1.50 per ton paid to jurisdictions to fund other AB 939
compliance activates. The Recycling Waste Reduction Commission (RWRC) will seek
additional funding in FY 2008 and FY 2009 from solid waste, waste water treatment plants,
and storm water agencies to pay for HHW services provided by the $/37 increase.
Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Prol!ram:
To comply with state law and local needs, the County of Santa Clara and fourteen cities
cooperated in creation oftheHHW Program. This cooperative effort was intended to provide for .....)
legal, convenient, and economical services to enable residents to safely dispose of such unwanted
hazardous household products as paints, solvents, pesticides, cleaning chemicals, aerosols,
automotive fluids, and batteries. Most cities have contracted with the County to provide for
HHW services through an Agency Agreement since 1992. The countywide HHW Program serves
all jurisdictions except the City of Palo Alto.
Initially, most funding for HHW services to city residents was approved by participating cities
through separate annual agreements approved each year. This funding structure resulted in
varying and unpredictable revenues. Beginning in FY 2001, cities agreed to provide base funding
from the Countywide AB939 Implementation Fee, and to augment this funding with separate city
monies if desired. This change stabilized the revenue base of the HHW Program and has
supported a substantial expansion in services provided to local residents. For the unincorporated
area, services were initially funded from a surcharge on unincorporated area residential
garbage/recycling service rates. Beginning in FY 2001, unincorporated area services have been
funded from the AB939 Fee, plus revenues from a reduced surcharge on residential garbage
rates.
The Agency Agreement for Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Services
provides for continuation ofHHW services to participating cities through June 30, 2009, or until
all revenue from the last quarter's fee payments has been distributed.
Local jurisdictions rely upon the Countywide AB939 Fee to fund a portion of the programs and
activities required to meet state-mandated waste stream reduction goals and to fund all or the
.....I
majority of the HHW services provided to their residents. Under State law, AB939 Fee revenue
is restricted to funding of AB939-related costs.
-
As in the past, the HHW portion of the AB939 Fee does not fund an optimum level ofHHW
services; instead, it reflects the consensus of city representatives regarding an acceptable fee
level. Cities desiring a higher level of service may choose to augment the funding provided by
the AB939 Fee. In FY 2005,11 of the 15 jurisdictions augmented the HHW portion of the
AB939 Fee to provide additional services to residents. At present, the $0.30 per household per
month surcharge on residential rates augments funding generated by the AB939 Fee to provide a
higher level ofHHW services to unincorporated area residents. In FY 2005, the HHW Program
served nearly 25,000 households through the operation of69 collection days.
Universal Waste (UW) Rel!u1ation:
-
The HHW Program has become the default collection and management agency for hazardous
consumer products. In March 2003, the Department of Toxic Substance Control adopted UW
regulations for electronic wastes and mercury-containing wastes such as batteries, mercury
thermostats, and lamps that contain mercury, including fluorescent lighting. Beginning February
9, 2006, it became illegal for residents and small businesses to dispose UW in the solid waste
stream. Prior to this date, the HHW Program, through a grant award, has developed and
implemented a mercury reduction education program and expanded our mercury-containing
waste collection program by establishing retail take-back relationships with local stores. While
grant funding for these services will end in March 2006, the HHW Program will continue to
maintain the retail take-back relationships and accept UW at its permanent facilities and
temporary events. Between the expiration of the grant term, March 30, 2006, and the effective
date of the AB939 Fee increase (July I, 2006), the maintenance ofthe retail take-back
relationships with local stores alone will have modest implications to the overall cost ofHHW
Program services.
When the regulation went into effect, the HHW Program estimated a ten-fold increase in the
recycling of current volumes for universal wastes over the next three years. The cost of recycling,
the necessary management and infrastructure needed to maintain retail drop-off stores, and
recruiting and developing new relationships for collection opportunities is estimated at $500,000
per year. Our existing collection infrastructure is inadequate to manage the amount ofUW that
will be generated. In addition, when the grant expires, the HHW Program will not have a funding
source to manage the large volumes ofUW.
Reasons for Recommendation:
The current three-year term ofthe Agency Agreement and authority to collect the Countywide
AB939 Implementation Fee expires June 30, 2006.
The Countywide AB939 Fee relates to the implementation of a countywide integrated waste
management plan The AB939 Fee may not exceed the estimated reasonable amount required to
provide the services.
-
The Recycling and Waste Reduction Commission's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC),
which has broad representation by city staff, and by the local waste and recycling industry, and
community organizations, recommends the AB939 Fee proposal. In considering the fee level for
FY 2007, TAC members considered increases in program costs, recent Universal Waste (OW)
regulation impacting HHW services, other sources of revenue for FY 2008 and FY 2009, and the
needs of jurisdictions for AB939 funding and countywide services.
In December 2005, the Recycling and Waste Reduction Commission approved the
recommendation for a one-year increase in the AB939 Fee in FY 2007, and provided direction to -
the TAC to seek alternative funding in FY 2008 and FY 2009 from solid waste, waste water
treatment plant, and storm water agencies.

-
NOW, THEREFORE, CITY and COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA AGREE AS
FOLLOWS:
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Agreement is to state the terms and conditions under which CITY
will participate in the Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program
(CoHHW Program) available to its residents. Participating jurisdictions are those
jurisdictions that enter into an AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM.
2. PROGRAM FUNDING SOURCE
.
HHW Program services are directly mandated under AB939, which establishes
statutory authority to provide for funding to support planning and implementation of
integrated waste management programs. The AB939 HHW Fee, $2.22 per ton in FY
2007 and $1.85 per ton in FY 2008 and FY 2009, collected as part of the AGENCY
AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE will be the
primary source of funding for CoHHW Program services.
-
Funds derived from the AB939 HHW Fee will be allocated among five types of
CoHHW Program service costs as follows:
A. Fixed Program Costs will be apportioned based on the number of households in
each participating jurisdiction. The number of households will be determined at
the beginning of each Fiscal Year by statistics compiled by the Department of
Finance, Demographic Research Unit in its most recent Report, "Population
Estimates for California Cities and Counties."
B. Abandoned Waste Disposal Costs will fund disposal ofHHW illegally abandoned
at nonprofit charitable reuse organizations. The existing fund balance of $21 0,000
from previous years will fund Abandoned Waste Disposal Costs for Fiscal Years
2007 to 2009. The $.12 per household Abandoned Waste Disposal apportionment
for Fiscal Year 2007 will be redirected to the Facility Closure Cost Account. The
apportionment for Fiscal Years 2008 to 2009 will be redirected to the City
Discretionary Fund.
It
C. Facility Closure Cost Account will cover the estimated cost of closing the three
County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facilities (CoHHWCF) when the
-
AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 2
-
.
time comes. The $.12 per household Abandoned Waste Disposal apportionment
for Fiscal Year 2007 will be redirected to this account to satisfy Pennit By Rule
requirements [California Code of Regulations, Title 22, sections 67450.25 (a) (2)
(E) and 66265.11 0-66265.115].
D. Variable Cost Per Car to provide a base level service to 3% of households in all
participating jurisdictions.
E. Available Discretionary Funding funded on tonnage generated per participating
jurisdiction.
The projected Fiscal Year 2007 AB939 HHW Fee funding allocation by jurisdiction
is set out in Attaclunent A.
3. FIXED PROGRAM COST
-
Fixed Program Costs shall be $1.68, $1.73, and $1.77 per household per jurisdiction
for Fiscal Years 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively. Estimated HHW Fixed Costs by
Fiscal Year are projected for Fiscal Years 2007 through 2009 in Attaclunent B. Fixed
Program Costs may include, but are not limited to six (6) CoHHW Program staff
members, facility leasing costs, vehicle lease costs, office rent, office supplies, county
administrative overhead, county legal counsel, program publicity, training costs,
equipment and facility maintenance and union negotiated salary and benefit increases.
.
4. ABANDONED WASTE DISPOSAL COST
The existing unexpended non-profit abandoned waste fund balance of $21 0,000 will
fund the next three fiscal years (FY 2007 to 2009) of disposal ofHHW illegally
abandoned at Nonprofit Charitable Reuser organizations defined in PUBLIC
RESOURCES CODE SECTION 41904. The FY 2007 apportionment ($0.12 per
household or $70,000) will be redirected to the Facility Closure Account. The $0.12
per household apportionment for Fiscal Years 2008 and 2009 ($70,000 each year)
will be suspended. Funding will be redirected to the City Discretionary Fund.
5. FACILITY CLOSURE COST
.
The Facility Closure Costs are costs associated with the closing of the three facilities
when the time comes and is required by Permit By Rule Regulations. During the first
three years of the AB939 hnplementation Fee for HHW, $20,000 per year was set
aside to pay for facility closure. The current closure account has $60,000. It is
anticipated that the San Jose Facility will close in FY 2007 and will cost
approximately $50,000 leaving $10,000 in the Facility Closure Account. The
estimated cost to close the remaining two facilities when the time comes is $80,000
($50,000 for the Sunnyvale facility and $30,000 for the San Martin facility). The FY
2007 apportionment ($70,000) for abandoned waste disposal will be redirected to the
AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COlLECTION PROGRAM 3
It
Facility Closure Account maintained by the Countywide IlliW Program. This would
be a one-time cost from the AB939 HHW Fee funding.
-
6. VARIABLE COST PER CAR
The Variable Cost Per Car is the cost associated with actual labor, waste disposal,
transportation and other services provided to the residents at the County Household
Hazardous Waste Collection Facilities (CoHHWCF) and at Temporary Events. The
Variable Cost Per Car is estimated to be approximately $76 per car for Fiscal Year
2007. The estimated cost per car will be adjusted annually to reflect actual service
costs. After Fixed Program Costs and Facility Closure Costs are allocated on a per
household basis, the Variable Cost Per Car will be used to calculate the costs to
service 3% of households across all participating jurisdictions. If the level of3% of
households is not reached in a particular jurisdiction, the CollliW Program will use
the remaining balance of funds, in cooperation with the CITY that has less than 3%
participation levels, to increase public outreach and/or provide additional services in
that jurisdiction the following year.
7. AVAILABLE DISCRETIONARY FUNDING
It
The Available Discretionary Funding portion of the AB9391lliW Fee will be
allocated based on the tons of waste generated within each jurisdiction, and after
allocation of Fixed Program Costs, Facility Closure Costs, and Variable Per Car
Costs. Available Discretionary Funds will be paid as directed by each jurisdiction.
Available Discretionary Funds must be used for HHW pmposes. Options for how to
spend these funds include, but are not limited to, increasing the number of residents
served in that jurisdiction by the CoHHW Program, subsidizing curbside used motor
oil collection, electronic waste (e-waste) collection, universal waste collection,
emergency HHW services, funding HHW public education, or providing special
programs such as door-to-door collection ofHHW for the elderly and/or persons with
disabilities.
-
8. ADMINISTRATION AND PAYMENT OF THE AB939 HHW FEE
The Santa Clara County Integrated Waste Management Program (IWMP) will
administer the AB939 HHW Fee, as part of the existing landfill billing system.
Administration and payment will be made in accordance with the AGENCY

Director shall review the request and supporting documentation and shall make a final
decision on the designation. COUNTY will accept abandoned HHW from Nonprofit
Charitable Reusers and will waive disposal fees on the cost of disposal of the
abandoned HHW in an annual amount not to exceed funds available from the
Abandoned Waste Disposal Cost funding generated by the AGENCY AGREEMENT
FOR COUNTYWIDE AB939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE (Fee). Funding for
disposal available to Nonprofit Charitable Reuser shall be on a first come first serve
basis. Once the cost for disposal of the abandoned HHW from Nonprofit Charitable
Reusers is equal to the available funds collected through the Fee in anyone fiscal
year, disposal fees shall no longer be waived, and Nonprofit Charitable Reusers shall
be charged for disposal of abandoned llliW according to the CoHHW Program's
published rates for CESQGs. No additional costs shall be applied to the budget of a
participating jurisdiction.
16. WASTES ACCEPfED

at $76.00 per car. Fiscal Years 2008 and 2009 funding augmentations shall be agreed
upon in writing by the Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environmental
Management and the designated CITY representative. Other services will be charged
on a cost recovery basis.
At the end of each fiscal year, a final annual cost statement shall be prepared by
COUNTY and issued to CITY by November 30th. The annual cost statement will
take into consideration costs incurred on behalf of CITY for additional services and
all payments made by CITY to COUNTY. If any balance is owed to COUNTY, it
will be due within 30 days following receipt of the annual cost statement. If any
credit is owed to CITY, COUNTY will refund that amount to CITY within 30 days
following delivery of the annual cost statement.
19. INFORMATION AND APPOINTMENT LINE

information about hazardous household materials. CITY will be notified when
indicated resident participation approaches the 3% base level of service.
-
20. SCHEDULING AND SITE SELECTION
COUNTY shall work with CITY to determine the date(s) of Temporary Events and
collections at the CoHHWCF. CITY shall coordinate with COUNTY in locating and
securing sites for Temporary HHW Events. It is recognized that some of the
jurisdictions participating in the CoHHW Program may not have appropriate sites
available. A proposed HHW schedule for Fiscal Year 2007 of Temporary Events and
collections at CoHHWCF is included as Attachment C. COUNTY will schedule an
adequate number of collection days to serve the 3% level of service in each
participating jurisdiction.
21. OUTSIDE FUNDING
It
During the term of this agreement, COUNTY will seek outside funding sources to
begin services that would supplement existing services such as permanent collection
sites, equipment, and operational funding. If funding is obtained, the Program will, at
COUNTY's discretion, proceed with development of additional programs without
affecting CITY's available funding allocation.

22. REGIONAL GRANT PARTICIPATION
The CoHHW Program is hereby given permission by all participating jurisdictions to
apply for future grants from the California Integrated Waste Management Board
which are available under the California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act of 1991 and
all Household Hazardous Waste grants under the California Integrated Waste
Management Act. The Countywide HHW Program will act on behalf of all
participating jurisdictions, as the lead applicant and grant administrator, and will use
the grant funds for the development of a Countywide HHW Program. The CoHHW
Program will oversee how the moneys are used and work in cooperation with CITY
as to how the funds will be spent. Nothing in this section shall preclude a
participating jurisdiction from applying for grant funds in any case where the
CoHHW Program does not apply.
23. EMERGENCY SERVICES
--
Participating jurisdictions, at their option, may desire to provide residents with
convenient emergency opportunities to safely dispose of their HHW in the event of a
disaster. The purpose of this emergency planning for HHW is to minimize potential
public health and safety impacts, as well as to minirnize costs and confusion.
Attachment E sets out CITY and COUNTY responsibilities for the collection of
household hazardous wastes in response to an emergency. CITY shall make good
faith efforts to provide the public with information related to the problems associated
with HHW. Upon the decision to hold an emergency collection event, it is CITY's
responsibility to make a good faith effort to prepare and disserninate the necessary
outreach to notify the public of a special emergency event. An emergency collection
event shall be initiated by a written request from CITY to COUNTY. Collection
events can be scheduled in as little as ten (10) working days of CITY's written
request or at an agreed upon date thereafter. The plan is set out in Attachment E,
Household Hazardous Waste Emergency Collection Plan.
COUNTY agrees to conduct the event at a mutually agreeable site and time. The
COUNTY will obtain the necessary permit from the State Department of Toxic
Substances Control, and handle wastes in accordance with State law. COUNTY will
bill CITY for all special emergency events on a cost recovery basis and all payments
shall be due thirty days following the receipt of the invoice.
24. PRIVATE SPONSORED EVENTS
-
COUNTY may also secure funding from corporations or agencies to conduct HHW
Collection Events for corporate employees and residents of participating jurisdictions.
The transportation, treatment and disposal liability for nonresident employee
participation in these events shall be shared by all participating jurisdictions and the
COUNTY, as described in Section 28 of this agreement. Summary information
w
AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 9
.
concerning these corporate sponsored events will be included in the CollliW
Program's annual report to the participating jurisdictions.
-
25. INSURANCE CERTIFICATES
Contractors who provide hazardous waste transportation, treatment, or disposal
services shall have insurance with the following minimwn limits: General
Comprehensive - $1 million per occurrence, $2 million aggregate; Auto -$1 million;
workers compensation -- statutory limits established by law; and environmental
impairment liability -$1 million per occurrence, $2 million aggregate. Other
contractors shall have insurance in amounts to be determined by COUNTY Insurance
Manager, after consultation with CITY. COUNTY shall obtain insurance certificates
from each of the contractors prior to the contractor providing service to the program.
All insurance certificates shall name CITY, its officers and employees as additional
insured.
26. WASTE TRACKING AND REPORTING
.
Within 30 days following the end of the 2nd quarter, COUNTY will provide a mid-
year report to CITY regarding participation rates from each participating jurisdiction.
Mid-year and year end reports will outline the types and quantities of waste collected,
the amount of waste diverted for reuse or recycling and the waste management
method for each waste stream and associated costs for services. COUNTY will
prepare a report summarizing program activities which will be delivered to the
participating jurisdictions no later than six months after the end of COUNTY's fiscal
year.
-
It will be assumed for cost and reporting purposes that each participating jurisdiction
is contributing to the waste stream in proportion to the nwnber of its residents who
directly participate. For purposes of any potential disposal liability, each
participating jurisdiction shall be deemed a discharger of only its pro rata proportion
of household participation in the Program. For example, if the program served 1,000
vehicles from the City of Mil pitas and 10,ooQ vehicles total from all participating
jurisdictions, the pro rata portion of household participation from Milpitas would be
ten percent. See also Section 28.
COUNTY shall take steps to assure that the bi-annual statements to jurisdictions
reflect the funds necessary to cover costs for CITY participation in services scheduled
during the next quarter. COUNTY will make every effort to keep the Variable Cost
Per Car at approximately $76.
27. PARTICIPATION REPORTING
.
COUNTY shall employ means necessary to verify the place of residence of all
participants in the CoHHW Program.

parties agree that all losses or liabilities incurred by a party shall not be shared pro rata
but instead COUNTY and CITY agree that pursuant to Government Code Section
895.4, each of the parties hereto shall fully indenmify and hold each of the other parties,
their officers, board members, employees and agents, harmless from any claim, expense
or cost, damage or liability imposed for injury (as defined by Government Code Section
810.8) occurring by reason of the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of
the indemnifying party, its officers, employees or agents, under or in connection with or
arising out of any work, authority or jurisdiction delegated to such party under this

~
Additionally, CITY shall indemnify COUNTY for CITY's apportioned share of any
liability incurred and attributed to the Countywide HHW Program for the
transportation, treatment, or disposal of the household hazardous waste, once the
waste has been accepted by a licensed hazardous waste hauler. Apportionment for
disposal liability shall be determined by each participating jurisdiction's pro rata
proportion of household participation in the Program. Apportionment for
transportation and treatment liability shall be determined by each participating
jurisdiction's pro rata household participation at the .event where the waste was
generated. COUNTY will use reasonable efforts to obtain recovery from all available
resources, including insurance, of any liable hauler or liable disposal facility operator.
No liability shall be apportioned to CITY for transportation, treatment or disposal in
any case where COUNTY has contracted for such services and has failed to require
the contractor to maintain the insurance requirements set forth in Section 25 above.

incurred and attributed to the Countywide HHW Program for the transportation,
treatment or disposal of household hazardous waste at corporate sponsored events
where non-county resident employees of the corporate sponsor are authorized to
participate in the event. Liability for the nonresident portion of the disposal of waste
shall be shared by the cities and the county as described above. The nonresident
portion shall be detennined by calculating the percentage of nonresidents
participating in the event. This percentage will then be subtracted from the total
liability for the household hazardous waste prior to assessing CITY's apportioned
share of any liability for the household hazardous waste.

COUNTY shall require CESQGs and Nonprofit Charitable Reusers to indemnify
COUNTY for their apportioned share of any liability incurred and attributed to the
AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 11
.
Countywide HHW Program for the transportation, treatment, or disposal of their
hazardous waste, once the waste has been accepted by a licensed hazardous waste
hauler. The CESQG and Nonprofit Charitable Reuser portion of the waste shall be
determined by calculating the percentage, by weight, of the total household hazardous
waste accepted by the CoHHW Program. This percentage will be used to calculate
the portion ofliability attributed to CESQGs and Nonprofit Charitable Reusers and
will be subtracted from the total liability prior to assessing CITY's apportioned share
of any liability for household hazardous waste.

HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
EMERGENCY COLLECTION PLAN
1: PURPOSE
The pUIpose of the Household Hazardous Waste Emergency plan is to minimize potential public
health and safety impacts, as well as to minimize costs and confusion during an emergency or
disaster. This Attachment describes the services the County can provide and the responsibilities
of each party for the collection of household hazardous wastes (HHW) in response to an
emergency as defined by the local jurisdiction..
Jurisdictions should contact local emergency agencies, the Governor's Office of Emergency
Services (OES), and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) for more specific
information on hazardous materials emergency response.
2. Timing of HHW
While it is important to have special collection opportunities for disaster-related HHW as soon as
possible to avoid illegal disposal or harm to people and/or the environment, having an event or
service too soon after a disaster may result in low participation. Sufficient public notification,
assessment and monitoring of the disaster, and cleanup process by the City HHW Coordinators is
essential.
-
3. Public Information/Notification:
Cities should be prepared to provide the public with information related to the problems
associated with HHW along with information about special collection events and services. Upon
the decision to hold an emergency collection event, it is the City's responsibility to prepare and
deliver the necessary public outreach to notify the public of an upcoming event. A City's public
outreach program should evaluate all forms of media including: newspaper ads, posters, flyers,
press releases, banners, door -to-door notices, roadside signs, signs on dumpsters, radio public
service announcements, and television public access stations. Be aware of communities where
multiple language ads will be necessary.
4. State HHW Collection Permits
The State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is responsible for issuing the
necessary state permits for HHW collection facilities. During an emergency, the County will
obtain the necessary emergency permit, for special collection of household hazardous waste,
from DTSC through their expedited approval process.

5. CoUection Events
T~porary collection ~vents can be set-up at various sites including parking lots, city
mamtenance yards, neIghborhoods needing service, and at landfills or a centralized location to
service larger segments of the population. Waste collected can be transported with the HHW
Program's hazardous waste transportation vehicle. In additional, events can be scheduled at the
three existing Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facilities (CoHHWCF). The
following options are available to each participating City.
· Neighborhood Drop-off Events: The County is able to provide localized service to specific
areas in need of household hazardous waste collection services. The County will work with
City Solid Waste Coordinators to conduct coordinated efforts to residents in the affected area.
After a specific event, waste will be transported by County staff or a hazardous waste
contractor to an appropriate facility.
. Mobile HHW Event: The County conducts Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event
(Events) at various sites located in Santa Clara County throughout the year. Events will be
expanded to give priority to disaster victims when requested by the City. The County shall
obtain all necessary permits and licenses required for the events and shall provide and/or
contract for the services of properly trained personnel and hazardous waste haulers. The
County shall also provide or secure suitable equipment and supplies to properly receive,
package, label, haul, recycle and dispose of the household hazardous wastes collected at
events.
. CoHHWCF: The County operates three permitted HHW collection facilities for the
collection and storage ofHHW. The current San Jose facility is expected to close in
December 2006; however, a new facility is expected to be ready to provide a seamless
transition to a new location. The County shall provide or contract for services, equipment,
and supplies to properly receive, package, label, haul, recycle and dispose of wastes collected
at the CoHHWCF.
The CoHHWCF are located at:
. Sunnyvale Recycling Center, 164 Carl Ave., Sunnyvale
. San Martin, 13055 Murphy Ave, San Martin
. SllIl Jose, 1600 S. 10th St., San Jose
6. Costs, Documentation and Reimbursements
Cities will be billed on a cost recovery basis. Costs of emergency events will be tracked and
billed separately. Emergency funding applications pending from the State or Federal government
for reimbursements in no way relieves the City of responsibility to make timely payment to the
County in accordance with the terms of the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM.
AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECDON PROGRAM 2
.
.
.
The County agrees to provide the City with a detailed accounting of servic7s provided .
for an emergency collection. Documentation will track the time and matenals of staff, outsIde
contractor expenses, and quantities and types of waste collected to demonstrate that the wastes
were generated above and beyond existing collection programs.
Services to businesses will be provided on a cost recovery basis and according to Attachment D
of the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
COLLECTION PROGRAM, which includes program administration, on-site collection,
transportation, and disposal costs. The County will assume responsibility for collecting fees
from participating businesses.
-
7. State and Federal Assistance and Funds
It is the city's responsibility to pursue reimbursement from State or Federal agencies.
State Office of Emergency Services (OES)
The OES is responsible for requesting assistance on behalf of local jurisdictions for resources
beyond the capability of the jurisdiction. State assistance may include assistance available from
State, Federal, or private sources. If a local jurisdiction is declared a state disaster area, and the
local jurisdiction deems that the needs of the disaster response are beyond its capabilities, then
the local jurisdiction can request assistance and reimbursement of costs from OES.
-
Follow Standardized Emergency Management SYStem (SEMS)
All requests and emergency responses must be in accordance with the SEMS. The State
Department of Toxic Substances Control may have funding available for hazardous waste
response and collection.
Federal Assistance
If a state disaster area is declared a federal disaster, then federal funding assistance may be
available through the State OES. Funding and assistance may be available from Federal agencies
such as FEMA and the U.S. EPA.
Damage estimates: The city should provide to the State OES estimates of damages and a "scope
of work requested." It is recommended that the local HHW coordinator meet ahead of time with
local emergency agencies or State OES contacts regarding the proper procedures and wording of
requests for assistance.
Funding Process: The funding process may vary depending on the unique circumstances of the
disaster. The process can either be the traditional FEMA reimbursement process, or by direct
assistance from EP A.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
ORIGINATING DEPT: City Attorney
CITY MANAGER: G J C /
PREPARED BY: Richard Taylor
DEPT. HEAD:
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to Early Warning Alarm System Ordinance
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
1. Request Planning Commission review of proposed amendments; and
2. Direct staff to schedule formal ordinance adoption by the City Council following
completion of Planning Commission review.
STAFF REPORT:
r The Saratoga .Fire District has been working with staff and the County Central Fire
District since last fall to prepare a comprehensive update of the City and Fire District
ordinances implementing the Early Warning Alarm System (EW AS) program. To reduce
staff costs to the City, the District has taken the lead in evaluating how the system has
. been working and drafting code amendments to reflect current practices and better protect
public safety. The District's proposed amendments are attached to this staff report
together with a letter from the District's Counsel explaining the amendments in detail.
This staff report briefly summarizes the proposed amendments and discusses the
recommended process for formal consideration and adoption of the amendments. A
representative of the District will be attending the City Council meeting to provide
additional information and to respond to questions from the City Council.
Proposed Ordinance Amendments
The EW AS program has been in effect since 1984. In general terms, the City Code
requires installation of an EW AS in all new homes and commercial structures in high fire
hazard areas and in all new homes over 5000 square feet and in certain remodeled
structures. EW AS may be required in community facilities and commercial structures
according to a set of criteria applied by the Fire Chief. The specific operation of the City
Code requirements is discussed in more detail in the attached letter from the District
r
1
Counsel. The City Codes implementing the EW AS program have not been amended or
updated in any significant way since 1984. ...,I
The proposed amendments would amend the City Code to:
. Set objective standards for determining when EW AS will be required in
commercial structures and community facilities;
. Require EW AS in connection with building permit approvals and not just in
connection with discretionary decisions such as conditional use permits;
. Remove outdated technical specifications and instead require compliance with new
technical specifications set by the District as they now exist and may be updated by
the District from time to time in the future;
. Require the EW AS requirement to be recorded for new structures where EW AS is
required in order to ensure that subsequent owners of the affected structure are
aware of their obligation to maintain the EW AS in working condition; and
. Offer District inspection of EW AS systems and District payment for repairs
costing less than $100.
....)
Each of these changes is discussed in more detail in the District's letter included as
Attachment A. The specific changes to the City Code are presented in Attachment B (in
these attachments the existing code is shown in standard font, new text is underlined and
text that would be deleted is shown in strikeout). The updated technical specifications
adopted by the District are presented in Attachment C. Attachment D is the form of
notice that would be recorded for properties with new EW AS systems.
Procedure for Formal AdoDtion
As shown in Attachment B, the EW AS requirement appears in the Subdivision, Zoning,
and Building Regulation chapters of the City Code. State law requires that all
amendments to the Zoning chapter be reviewed by the Planning Commission before
Council action. To ensure that the Planning Commission has an understanding of the
complete package of amendments to implement the EW AS updates, staff recommends
that the City Council request the Planning Commission to review the proposed changes to
the Subdivision and Building Regulation chapters as well as the Zoning chapter.
Following Planning Commission review, staffwill conduct the appropriate noticing to
2
-I
schedule a public hearing and allow the City Council to consider formal adoption of the
EW AS updates in light of any recommendations offered by the Planning Commission.
FISCAL IMP ACTS: The ordinance will not impose any added costs on City operations.
Costs of verifying compliance (e.g., through plan checks) will be covered through
application fees.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Notice for this meeting.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING ON RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
The EW AS amendments would not be referred for Planning Commission review
and could not be adopted by the City Council..
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS: Staff will implement Council direction.
ATTACHMENTS:
Attachment A: Letter from Counsel to the Saratoga Fire District describing proposed
EW AS Ordinance amendments.
Attachment B: Proposed revisions to Saratoga City Code Sections 14-25.110, 15-80.090,
and 16-60.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 14-25.110
SARATOGA SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
RE: EARLY WARNING FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
-
~14-25.110 Early warning fire alarm system.
(a) Findings and purpose. The City Council fmds and determines as follows:
(1) Utilization of current technology in the detection and warning offue will significantly enhance the
level of protection from such hazard while at the same time maximizing the effectiveness of existing
equipment and facilities for emergency responses.
(2) Certain areas of the City have been designated as hazardous fue areas, which are defmed as any land
covered with grass, grain, brush or forest which is so situated or is of such inaccessible location, that a
fue originating upon such land would present an abnormally difficult job of suppression or would
result in great and unusual damage through fue or resulting erosion. The response time of emergency
equipment to calls for aid in the hazardous fue areas is impaired due to the non-availability of access
to some portions of such areas, the existence of steep. narrow streets and roadways located in such
areas, the lack of connecting streets and roadways in such areas, and the unusual topography of such
areas. Further, the presence of heavy vegetation in the hazardous fire areas increases the potential for
the rapid spread of any fue which may start in such areas, particularly during seasonal dry spells.
(3) A substantial portion of the new single-family dwellings being constructed in the City are larger
structures, typically in excess of five thousand square feet with three-car garages. By reason of their
size, a fire in these structures can be more difficult to extinguish.
-
(4) The risk of fire to persons and property within multi-family dwellings and structures containing
multiple sleeping units is proportionately greater because of the higher density of occupants.
Immediate warning offue and notification to the fue district of the existence and location offue will
serve to reduce the possibility of death, injury and property damage.
(5) Because commercial buildings and community facilities are public gathering places, the public health
and safety risks of fue are particularly acute. Immediate warning of fue and notification to the fue
district of the existence and location of fire will serve to reduce the possibility of death, injury and
property damage in these structures.
(6) The public safety and welfare may necessitate installation of an early warning fire alarm system in a
commercial structure or community facility, depending upon the facts and circumstances to be
evaluated by the Fire Chief in each individual case.
(7) It is the goal and policy of the City, as set forth in the Safety Element of the General Plan, to require
installation of an early warning fue alarm system as hereinafter provided in this Section. The purpose
of this Section is to implement such goal and policy.
(b) Mandatory requirement for installation of alarm system. As a condition for tentative map approval under
this Chapter, the advisory agency shall require the installation of an early warning fue alarm system in accordance with
Article 16-60 in Chapter 16 of this Code, and the connection of such system to a monitoring station in such manner as
may be specified by the Saratoga Fire District, in each of the following cases:
(1)
All new single-family dwellings, commercial structures and community facilities located within a
- 1- Subdivision Code Amendments
-
-
designated hazardous fue area.
(2) Any existing single family dwelling, commercial structure or comnrunity facility which is expanded by
fifty percent or more in gross floor area and is located within a designated hazardous fue area.
(3) All new single-family dwellings, commercial structures and community facilities having a gross floor
area in excess aftive thousand square feet.
(4) Any existing single-family dwelling, commercial structure or community facility which is expanded by
fifty percent or more in gross floor area which, after such expansion, will exceed five thousand square
feet in gross floor area.
(5) All new multi-family dwellings and other new structures having multiple sleeping units including, but
not limited to, hotels, motels, apartments, condominiums or other community housing projects,
townhouses and nursing homes.
(6) Any existing multi-family dwelling or other structure having multiple sleeping units such as described
in Paragraph (5) above, which is expanded by fifty percent or more in gross floor area.
(c) Discretionary requirement for certain existing commercial structures and community facilities. Where an
existing commercial structure or community facility is remodeled or the use thereof is changed, and such commercial
structure or community facility either: (i) has a gross floor area in excess offivc thousand square feet, or(ii) regardless of
size, is located within a designated hazardous fue area, then the Chief of the Fire District having jurisdiction over the
project may require the installation of an early waming fue alarm system in accordance with Article 16-60 in Chapter 16
of this Code, and the connection of such system to a monitoring station in such manner as may be specified by the
Saratoga Fire District. If the requirementto install an alarm system is imposed, it shall be made a condition of tentative
map approval under this Chapter. The determination by the fue chief shall be based upon anyone or more of the
following considerations:
(1) An occupant load increase of fifty percent or more.
(2) New commercial cooking operations.
(3) Hazardous materials storage for which a permit is required.
(4) The principal use involves the care or supervision of building occupants.
(d) Determination of gross Door area and fifty percent expansion.
(I) As used in this Section, the term "commercial structure" includes, but is not limited to, office
buildings, retail stores, restaurants, repair shops, and industrial buildings, and the term "community
facility" includes, but is not limited to, schools, theatres, churches, meeting halls and conference
centers.
(2) The determination of gross floor area, as defmed in Subsection I4-10.100(b) of this Chapter, shall
include any basement or portion thereof occupied as habitable space.
(3)
For the purposes of this Section, any expansion shall be considered as equaling or exceeding the fifty
percent limit where the work of construction or improvement is done at different time intervals
requiring two or more building permits, within a period of five years after completion of the fust
improvement, where although each is for a project encompassing an expansion of less than fifty
percent of increased floor area, but when combined with other expansions during the five year period
of time increase the amount of gross floor area of the structure by fifty percent or more of that amount

work to be performed at the initial expense of the Fire District. Such expense shall
constitute a loan by the Fire District to the EW AS Owner which shall be evidenced
by a promissory note signed by the Owner and secured by a deed of trust against the
property. The note shall become due and payable upon any sale, refinancing, or
transfer of the property, or upon the death of the EW AS Owner, together with interest
thereon at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the date of disbursement. A
loan for repair costs shall only be authorized for an EW AS installed in a single-
family residence owed and occupied by one or more individuals.

SUBJECT: Application 06-268 - Initiation of Annexation of an approximately 35-acre parcel
(APN 503-09-003) located at 22490 Mt. Eden Road.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached Resolution of Initiation of Annexation.
REPORT SUMMARY:
The applicant's property is located in the County of Santa Clara and is approximately 35 acres in
.r-- area. The property is located within the City of Saratoga Sphere of Influence and Urban Services
boundaries. South Thunder, LLC is the applicant and owner of this property, which is used as a
horse fann with a main residence, stable, bam and related structures, irrigated pastures, paddocks
and equestrian trails. The properties surrounding the site include an open space easement and
residential development to the north, residential and equestrian uses to the east and south, and
open space, vineyard and residential uses to the south.
The property proposed for annexation conforms to the applicable land use and density criteria
contained in the Saratoga City Code and General Plan. The property is located in the Residential
Open Space (R-OS) prezone and is currently under the Williamson Act, which limits use of the
land to agricultural and open space purposes. The property will remain under Williamson Act
Contract if it is annexed to the City of Saratoga. Over half of the acreage of the lot is unimproved
with trails with links to Stevens Creek Park and other trails. The applicant has indicated an offer
of dedication of trail easements on the property. The trail linkage opportunities are consistent
with the goals of the Open Space Element of the General Plan and the purposes of the R-DS
zoning designation.
DISCUSSION:
According to the applicant, Santa Clara County is intending to cancel Williamson Act Contracts
for parcels within its jurisdiction that are not actively involved in agriculture. The use of the
subject property is consistent with the provisions of the Contract, but the property is not actively
,,- used for agriculture. The applicant wishes to remain under Williamson Act Contract and is
concerned that the Contract may be cancelled for the subject property if it remains under the
jurisdiction of the County of Santa Clara. The City of Saratoga does not have a policy of
.
encouraging the cancellation of Williamson Act Contracts. Therefore, the applicant has
requested that the City initiate this annexation. ....)
Under the City's Annexation process and the LAFCO statutes, this annexation will not be
reviewed by LAFCO, or require notice, hearing or an election because the annexation is being
made by a petition with 100% consent of the landowner. The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local
Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (the Act) provides that cities in Santa Clara County
may proceed independently of LAFCO in processing annexation applications within the City's
urban service area. (Government Code S 56757) The Act requires, however, that the City
follow the procedures used by LAFCO to the extent practicable. (See Government Code S
56757.) The Act establishes a three-part process for annexations: (1) Initiation of Annexation
(see Gov't Code SS 57000(a) and 56650 et seq.); (2) Protest Proceedings (see Gov't Code 57000
et seq.) which may be waived by the City Council; and (3) Approval of Annexation (see Gov't
Code S 56757).
Initiation of Annexation
1. Preparation of Supporting Documents. The Act and other state laws require
annexation proponents to prepare a number of documents as part of the annexation
process. The documents fall in three categories: a service plan, LAFCO materials,
and the California Environmental Quality Act materials. These are described below.
A. Service Plan. Government Code sections 56653 and 56700 requires that all .....)
annexations begin with a proposed service plan for the area to be annexed. The
plan must include the following components:
i. A description of the land to be annexed;
ii. A list of the organizational changes proposed; (See attached List of
Services Report)
iii. The reasons for the proposal;
iv. A listing and description of the services to be provided to the annexed
lands together with a discussion of the level and range of services to be
offered; (See attached List of Services Report)
v. An indication of when the services listed can feasibly be extended to the
annexed lands; (See attached List of Services Report)
VI. An indication of any improvement or upgrading of structures, roads, sewer
or water facilities, or other conditions that the City would impose or
require on the annexed lands; No inhabited territory or functioning
roadway will be annexed as part of this proposal and all other services
will be consistent with the current conditions.
VlI. Information on how the services to be provided would be financed. (See
attached List of Services Report)
B. LAFCO Materials. Cities in Santa Clara County proceeding independently of
LAFCO are required to make the findings listed below before approving an
annexation. (See Government Code Section 56757(c).) The formal findings need
not be made until the end of the process. The City will be required to make the
.....,I
20f9
-"
following findings. Each finding is followed by a brief description of Staffs
review.
1. That the unincorporated territory is within the urban service area of the
city as adopted by the commission. Staff has confirmed that this is the
case for the affected property.
11. That the county surveyor has determined the boundaries of the proposal to
be definite and certain, and in compliance with LAFCO's road annexation
policies. The City will be providing a map to the County Surveyor once
initiation of annexation has been approved by City Council.
iii. That the proposal does not split lines of assessment or ownership. Staff
has confirmed that this is not the case for the affected property.
IV. That the proposal does not create islands or areas in which it would be
difficult to provide municipal services. Staff has reviewed the geography
of the proposed annexation and concluded that it would not create an
island or present difficulties in providing municipal services since the
majority of services will remain the same.
-
v. That the proposal is consistent with the adopted General Plan of the City.
The land use designation for the lands to be annexed is RHC (Residential
Hillside Conservation). This is consistent with the existing use of the
property. The land has been prezoned Residential Open Space (R-OS)
which is consistent with the General Plan designation and the surrounding
zoning. The General Plan provides that lands in the hillsides should be
considered for annexation if they meet the following General Plan
Policies:
LU.l.O
Lands shall not be annexed to Saratoga unless they are contiguous to the
existing City Limits and it is determined by the City that public services
can be provided without unrecoverable cost to the City and dilution of
services to existing residents.
LU.l.l
Annexation proposals shall be carefully studied to determine their
economic and urban service impacts to the City.
The proposal is consistent with the City General Plan because the
property will remain under the provisions of the Williamson Act which are
consistent with purpose of the Residential Open Space zoning designation.
The property is contiguous to existing City limits and is already served by
utilities and will not require City maintenance of roads that are currently
within Santa Clara County. In addition. the use of the property for
pedestrian trails promotes the goal of the Open Space Element of the
General Plan.
30f9
Annexation Approval
--
Because the annexation is initiated by a request (application) for annexation by the property
owner, with 100% consent by the property owner, the City is required to prepare an Initiation of
Annexation for review by the City Council. (See Government Code Section 56663(a)). A public
hearing is not necessary and the City Council may consider the Initiation of Annexation as a
routine agenda item at a regular meeting and may waive protest proceedings. (Government Code
Section 56663(a)). The City Council is required to make the findings pursuant to Government
Code Section 56757 prior to adopting the resolution approving the annexation. After the
resolution is adopted a certified copy of the resolution and paperwork is submitted to LAFCO.
Government Code sections supportinl! the City's Annexation Process:
Government Code Section 56757 specifically governs reorganizations conducted in Santa
Clara County and states as follows:
(a) The commission (Local Agency Formation Commission, "LAFCO") shall
not review a reorganization that includes an annexation to any city in Santa Clara
County of an unincorporated territory that is within the urban service area of the
city if the reorganization is initiated by resolution of the legislative body of the
city.
(b) The city council shall be the conducting authority for the reorganization
and the proceedings for the reorganization shall be initiated and conducted as
nearly as may be practicable in accordance with part 4 (commencing with
section 57000).
-
(c) The city council, in adopting the resolution approving the reorganization
shall make all of the findings set forth above under the heading "LAFCO
Materials."
(d) All reorganizations which involve territory for which the land use designation
in the general plan of the city has changed from the time that the urban service
area of the city was last adopted by the commission, and which are processed by a
city pursuant to this section shall be subject to an appeal to the commission upon
submission of a petition of appeal, signed by at least 50 registered voters in the
county. Here the land use designation has not changed.
( e) An appeal to the commission may also be made by submission of a resolution
of appeal adopted by the legislative body of a special district solely for the
purpose of determining whether some or all of the territory contained in the
reorganization proposal should also be annexed or detached from that special
district.
(f) Any petition submitted under subdivision (d) or resolution submitted under
subdivision (e) shall be submitted to the executive officer within 15 days of the
adoption by the city council of the resolution approving the annexation. The
-
40f9
-
executive officer shall schedule the hearing for the next regular meeting of the
commission as is practicable. The commission may set a reasonable appeal fee.
California Environmental Oualitv Act
Annexations are projects subject to the environmental review requirements of the Califomia
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). Staff has determined that the annexation would be
exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Section 15319 of the CEQA Guidelines. That section
provides that annexations are categorically exempt from CEQA review if they include only
existing structures developed to the density allowed by the current zoning or pre-zoning of either
the gaining or losing govemmental agency whichever is more restrictive or they include only
annexations of individual parcels that do not exceed the minimum size for facilities exempted by
Section 15303 (that section limits exemptions to up to three single-family residences in an
urbanized area).
Staff has determined that findings can be made to support the Categorical Exemption of the
proposed annexation of an approximately 35 acre property into the City of Saratoga in that the
annexation is for less than three single-family residences in an urbanized area. There is no
subdivision potential and the property to be annexed will include trail easements offered by the
applicant. Because the City does not provide utility services, the annexation does not involve or
change the standards for extension of utility services to the parcel proposed for annexation.
-
FISCAL IMPACTS:
No impact.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
There will be no annexation or opportunities to expand the City's trails.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Deny the proposed resolution initiating annexation and provide Staff with direction.
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
At the direction of Council, Staff will proceed with the annexation approval procedure, as
specified in the California Govemment Code.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Notice is not required for the initiation of this annexation and none has been given. Notice is
likewise not required for approval of this annexation and will not be given absent the direction of
Council. If the Council directs that notice be given for future agenda item to consider approval
of the annexation, this notice will be completed by staff using a 500-foot radius, consistent with
the City's normal noticing requirements, of the proposed annexed properties.

SUBJECT: Saratoga Gateway Improvement Project - Discussion of Median Columns
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept report and provide direction to staff.
REPORT SUMMARY:
Introduction:
r
This report will serve as a vehicle for public input in regard to the final design of the Gateway
columns which have been constructed at the north end of the Gateway Improvement Project near
the intersection of Saratoga-Sunnyvale and Prospect Roads. The following section of the report will
discuss the background of the Gateway Improvement Project from its conception to award of
contract. The discussion section of the report will deal with the Gateway columns including options
for redesign and/or removal.
Backlrround:
. Relinquishment of Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road (Old Highway 85)
When Highway 85 was completed in 1994, Caltrans pursued relinquishment of Saratoga-
Sunnyvale Road (old State Route 85) from Highway 9 to Prospect Road to the City. After
lengthy negotiations, the City agreed in 2000 to accept responsibility for the road including
$2 million dollars from the State to perform needed infrastructure improvements. The City
also was awarded an $880,000 grant through VTA for improvements to the roadway.
. Gateway Task Force and Master Plan Process
r'
In April of2oo1, the City Council formed the Gateway Task Force, which represented a
mix of Saratoga Residents and Business Owners, who met numerous times to develop a
Master Plan for the Gateway. The Master Plan input process lasted approximately one year,
which included 7 Gateway Task Force Meetings, an all day Public Workshop with input
'-.
from the public (Attachment 1), 10 individual/group meetings with City staff, 6 modified
Conceptual Master Plans, and 9 modified entry schemes. A summary timeline of the Master
Plan input process is attached <Attachment 2).
.....)
On March 20, 2002, after much compromise by all interested parties, the City Council
unanimously approved the Final Gateway Master Plan <Attachment 3) and entry design
(Attachment 4).
. Revised Corner Entry Design
In December 2003, per City Council Direction, staff and the City's design consultant,
Steve Kikuchi, began working with the Arts Commission to develop a conceptual design
for the comer entry, which was subsequently approved by the City Council in April of
2004 <Attachment 5). In addition to assisting with the design of the comer entry, the Arts
Commission assisted in choosing the stone veneer for the columns.
The redesign was implemented because the property owner where the 76 Station is
located indicated that in the near future the current use of the property could change and
the conceptual design of the comer entry would be too cumbersome for the small parcel.
Some basic design changes were discussed, which subsequently were agreed to by the
property owner.
. Construction Bids
On November 23, 2004, sealed bids for the Saratoga Gateway Project were opened. Golden
Bay Construction submitted the lowest bid of $2,707,622. In order to award the project J
within budget it was necessary to modify the scope of work to close a $571 ,000 gap between
the low bid and available funding. The resulting proposal from Golden Bay Construction
was $2,222,633, which City Council subsequently approved on January 19, 2005.
Discussion:
A Master Plan is a general guide for the final design of a project. Right-of-way issues,
topography, utility locations, roadway geometries, and budget all playa role in how the final
design takes shape. The final design of the Gateway Improvement Project substantially follows
the Master Plan, which is the general rule when translating from a planning document to
construction plans.
The Gateway columns which consist of 4 - 4 Y, foot tall columns and 9 - 8 Y, foot tall columns
were included, in concept, on the final Gateway Master Plan. The Gateway Task Force was given
various options for the design of columns to review <Attachments 6-8), which subsequently
became a basis for the final design of the columns <Attachment 9-10). The Gateway Task Force
liked the idea of stand alone columns without a trellis structure because it would differ from what
other surrounding communities had in their medians. However, the final design of the columns
including height, width, number of columns, and their shape was the project architect's vision of
the direction received from the Task Force. There was no formal review of the final column
design, which has led to uncertainty of what was approved. Staff's review of the construction
plans concentrated on infrastructure details and not the aesthetic design of architectural features J
-
such as the columns or the entrance design. Two examples of the differences between what was
schematically shown on the Master Plan and the construction drawings are the number of small
columns which was reduced from five to four and the shape of the columns which appear square
on the Master Plan but are a tapered pyramid shape in the construction drawings.
Once the columns were substantially built they appeared unfinished and too massive to members
of the community and City Council. A call for a finishing element on top of the columns was
viewed as way to enhance their appearance and help break-up their massiveness. The City
Council held a workshop with Saratoga Architect, Warren Reid, who donated his time to develop
a trellis design for the columns. The City Council subsequently directed staff to move forward
with Warren's trellis design. As time went on the City began to receive additional negative
feedback regarding the columns, some calling for their removal. A second workshop was held
and the City Council directed staff to remove the columns and plant trees in their place. As word
of their impending removal began to circulate throughout the community, a desire to have more
public input regarding the issue was heard by City Council. In order to have more public input on
the issue the Mayor agendized the discussion for the April 19th City Council Meeting.
Staff has identified four options regarding the final determination of the column issue including
costs for each option. A detailed cost breakdown is attached (Attachment 11). In addition, 3
perspective renderings have been prepared by the design architect (Attachments 12-14).
Total price to install columns to date = $ 33.000
~
Option 1: Finish all 13 columns as stand alone structures.

Subject: Pillars in Gatewaty
Hi John,
Perhaps you remember: did the original drawings for Gateway (while I was still on the council) call
for a trellis and vines in the median? My recollection is that the pillars were to support a wooden
trellis.
I do not recall voting on any plan that included pillars by themselves.
In any event, why not do a trellis and plant grapes? This would be in keeping with the vinticulture
history of the city, and would save the cost of pillar removal.

1 applaud the removal of the stone monuments on Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road at Prospect Ave. It is far more
appropriate for Saratoga to plant trees in the median. I would suggest flowering trees, such as Flowering Plum
or Crepe Myrtle.
It's a shame that liability restricrions prevent having several young Saratoga residents from taking sledge
hammers to the stone pillars and demolishing them; it certainly would not cost $15,000 and it would provide a
few hours of 'entertainment' for our youth!

Rad,
Thank you for your emaiI.
We have agendized this item for April 19th. The pillars mayor maynot
be demolished, but nothing will happen until after the 19th.
We did have two workshops on this issue, and one solution was to put
a trellis on the tall pillars. The initial drawings did not look
very nice and there were additional cost and engineering issues. At
the end of the second workshop it was decided to remove them an plant
trees. But since there seems to be a lot of interest in this
project, the council decided to place the issue on the April 19th
agenda so that the public can have greater input. Staff will provide
options for keeping as well as removing them.
Hope this helps clarify the situation.
Sincerely,
Norman Kline
Mayor,
- City of Saratoga

Thanks, I really appreciate the history lesson. I think generally the road looks pretty good. I have

Dear Mayor:
I was the owner of French Roast Cafe' back in 2001 when this project started getting serious.
The project and the design of it was aweful since day one; the architectectura1 firm Greg G. ING and
Associates did not have a good design to respond to the needs of most Saratogans.
The people on the board had lots of influence from Jack Mallory, a resident that has lived many years in
Saratoga, and wanted everything his way.
The project was not business friendly, as a matter of fact they were originally planning to block the
whole section from the railraod to Prospect Road with a solid traffic island. This did not happen thanks
to me and a couple of other business owners who spoke up against it.
I should say Mr. John Cherbonne was very cooperative with me, and I convinced him and the architect
that a one piece Island is not good for the businesses.
Today you see the result - the Island has an ingress for French Roast Coffee and other businesses,
otherwise you would have more to demolish.

As far as concerns the stone age mushrooms, they look awful.

Dear Mr. Kline:
Thank you for your reply to my email questions.
While I accept that these plans were created some five years ago "before the
majority of current council were present", once the project was finally given the
green light to proceed wasn't someone responsible for making sure that the plans
that were approved were in fact the elements that would be constructed, BEFORE
incurring the expenditure, manpower and community/traffic inconvenience to
construct the project? Someone surely was placed in charge of this project and,
hopefully, would have retrieved an old artist rendering and not just allow some
random, unapproved design be put in place. So, one can only assume that what
we now see is what was approved some years ago.
. This whole mess is quite disturbing to myself and other members of the community
I have spoken with. The following are my words, but seem to be the sentiments of
others:
-

It is my recollection that the whole purpose of this project was to delineate the
entrance to the City of Saratoga in a beautiful and prominent way. As a result, one
can hardly read the word "Saratoga" on the small stone wall in front of the gas
station, as it is neither beautiful nor informative. Will this wall be demolished also
since; 1) it no longer will coordinate with the pillars and, 2) it does not represent a
beautiful and prominent entrance to Saratoga? The sign is certainly a very poor
example of anything noticeably prominent and is not even slightly attractive or
readable.
The Saratoga News article says that the council made the decision to tear down the
pillars based on speaking with 80 people in the community, Cynthia Chang and a
Feng Shui expert. To even address the concems of those who believe in Feng
Shui at this point in time is quite unrealistic. If this was to be a concern of the City
of Saratoga then this issue should have been addressed long BEFORE the
approval of this project. Even five years ago there were Chinese Americans living
in Saratoga and the ancient art of Feng Shui was well known. The "majority" of
Saratogans should be the voice to which the council listens, and not just 80
community members and a minority who believe in this ancient art. If the tear down
decision was based on something other than the above it should be made clear in a
future Saratoga News article.
The traffic light installed at Seagull (to enter Sunnyvale/Saratoga Rd. from only
ONE DIRECTION) has caused traffic to back up over and past the railroad tracks.
The shortening of the left turn lane from Saratoga/Sunnyvale Rd. and Prospect
contributes to further traffic delays. While waiting at the light at Seagull I rarely see
more than one or two cars making a turn. What was the impetus that drove the City
to install this expensive light? What was the impetus that drove the City to install
the expensive underground work necessary for a possible future light at Kirkmont?
Was a traffic impact study completed prior to these decisions?
Any main traffic artery where signal lights are installed every few blocks becomes
one big traffic jam which impedes the easy and efficient flow of traffic. Just drive
down Blossom Hill Rd. in South San Jose. Just look at the traffic impact caused by
the signal light at Rainbow and DeAnza Boulevard. It's a mess that has created for
all to endure for the convenience of a few. I'm sure you've experienced a green
light on Northbound DeAnza to enter Highway 85, but have been unable to move
because the light at Highway 85 is red and the traffic hasn't moved. Once the
Highway 85 light turns green the Rainbow Drive light turns red and we haven't
moved an inch, not even one car. Too many lights in too short a distance. A signal
light at Kirkmont would be a disaster for the traffic flow on Saratoga/Sunnyvale Rd.
- For the past 18 years that I have lived in Saratoga the traffic flow on
.. Saratoga/Sunnyvale Rd. from Prospect into Los Gatos has been moving smoothly.
The light at Seagull has dramatically impeded traffic flow in the area. Please don't
make matters worse by adding a second light between Cox and Prospect.

Thank you for returning my email. Even with stone caps, not an arbor, I think the pillars should stay as
originally planned, no hasty decisions being made until the plantings grow a bit.
I was unaware of the public meetings, were they well publicized?
Thank you for considering all opinions.
Respectfully,

Dear Shonna:
Thank you for your email.
-
Actually, with the exception of a missing stone cap, the pillars are
pretty much complete as they are. There was never any plans to
place an arbor on top of them. They were designed to be just stone
structures. This was designed over five years ago and we were just
implementing that design.
.
When it became clear to the council what the final look would be, we
had two public workshop meetings to discuss the issue. We tried to
Page 2 of2
redesign a trellis or arbor on top, but that didn't seem to work and
e cost money that wasn't in the original budget.
Removing them now will save money compared to the cost of trying to,
as someone said, put lipstick on a pig.

This also allows us to design a more attractive element to the
gateway later.
I hope this provides some additional information. Please feel free
to contact me again.

I wanted to urge you to not act hastily concerning the
controversial pillars in the Gateway area. Until this weeks issue
of Saratoga News was published, I did not realize removing them was
being considered. From discussion with other residences, other
people do not realize this either.
The pillars look unfinished, and need the arbor on top to complete
them. I assumed this was the next step. To tear them out before
they are even finished denotes a total lack of planning and vision
to follow through with what was planned. The City of Saratoga is
already receiving a lot of criticism for purchasing and then
putting up for sale the North Campus.(I realize this is two
different Councils) Tearing down the pillars before completion,
while not on the same scale, reinforces that the city is wishy washy.
Please consider finishing the pillars as planned, and living with
them before any thing is done. The Gateway area now looks like you
are entering different city, if the pillars are gone, there will be
no demarcation from Cupertino.
Sincerely,
Shonna Larson

I understand your point of view and will review this with

But, personally, I still think they are pretty ugly.
I think we an find a beautiful heritage Oak Tree and
move it to where the 9 tall pillars are located.
We can use the uplighting to make a city
entrance that would be terrific for hundreds of
years.
The four short pillars, should be removed simply from a
safety issue.

Thanks for the note.
-
-.;
I appreciate the interest, but I don't believe in feng shui either.
I also don't like the design of the pillars. So what do I do?
If you really do like the design of the pillars, than you are the
VERY FIRST person I have
talked to that does.
The project is under budget and removing them costs less than several
projects to
try to make them look nicer. However, than perhaps we should keep them.
I'm not that worried one way or another. I worked very hard to keep
this proj ect
under budget and I wouldn't mind not taking them out. They were a
pretty
small design element of the overall project.
Perhaps they really do symbolize Saratoga. Maybe they really are
appropriate.
I'll have to give that some thought.
If
Thank you for your very honest and straightforward email. I
appreciate the
candor.
As you know, the pillars are still there and I'm sure we'll start
another review
shortly.

It is appalling to me, that the city would even think of removing

some other obscure ritualistic belief.
That is absolutely ridiculous.

What next, we have to change our city ordinance/codes to ensure

I happen to like the look of the design, which I am sure was
created at great expense to the taxpayers.
They provide a unique entry way into our city.

Dear Mayor Kline,
I was hoping you would have the answers to the following questions:
How much did it cost to build the pillars {A.K.A. ungilded "turds" (no disrespect meant -just
referencing the Saratoga News statement of a councilperson)?
How much will it cost to tear them out?
How much would it have cost to complete the project?
Was a safety study ever performed? Did anyone ever think that the project posed a safety issue with
pillars close to traveling cars?
How many citizens complained of the issue?
Thank you for your reply.
Respectfully,

Thank you for your timely and informative reply to my questions concerning the Gateway Project. I appreciate your candor. I wish to clarify a few
things: I did not say the council "designed" the pillars. I said It "approved" them. While I'm aware that designs sometimes look different on paper than
they do when built, you brought up a valid point about safety and I'm dismayed that neither the council nor the design committee recognized the
seriousness of building stone pillars so close to moving traffic.
I was not, nor am I now, in favor of the pillars. I think they look ridiculous -like some failed Stonehenge wannabe -I was only seeking to find some
answers to questions about the cost, financing and the traffic problems. I am happy to hear the project, so far, is .under-budget" but we won't know for
certain untlllt is completed - tf in deed it ever isl It seems to go on and on - whether there will be a cost over run or not. Let's hope there won't be.
One million dollars of city money Is a sizable chunk considering the rapldty deteriorating concIltion of our city's infrastructure.
More Importantly, you failed to answer any of my questions about the proposed bicycle trail along the railroad tracks. RecenUy, much of the focus has
been directed to the North Campus, Kevin Moran Park and the Gateway Project. all of which are absolutely worthy of the attention they have
garnered. but "the Trair is of immense importance to a great many Saratoga residents and we need to be kept Infanned.
My questions were: Who is doing the environmental study on the trail? How can I . or anyone else. obtain a copy of It? When is the study expected
to be completed. I look forward to hearing from you on these issues also.

Dear Donna:
Thank you for your letter.
Let me try to answer you wKh specifics.
You stated In the Saratoga News (Wed. March 29) that It would cost less to tear out the pillars of the Gateway Project and re-
landscape the median, than it would cost to complete the original project design the council had approved. Please send me the
figures to back up this daim.
Irs shocking. I know, but sometimes. just sometimes, the Saratoga News doesn~ get it exactly correct. When the city
council asked the public works director how much K would cost to remove the pillars, he estimated about $20K? When
asked how much it would cost to complete the pillars with all the additional caps, hardware, lighting, etc.. he said is would
be significantly more than the $20K. Based on that financial staff report, I told Saratoga News that removing the Pillars
actually saves the city money. I do have to admit I might have been extreme. Like my wife telling me how much she saved
at the recent Maeys Sale. But, both are truthful statements.
Seriously. This council did not design the pillars, but it decided in full public view to take the heat for removing them. It did
so In a truthful, honest and open process. Note, the pillars are still there and we openly are taking the heat for removing
them. T.he decision process and results are in full publiC view.
The article also states that the $2.9 million dollars for this project came from "the Slate of California." Is that VTA money? Bond
money? Where exactly did/does the money corne from? If there is a cost over.run, where will that money come from?
The majority of the money came from State grants with roughly a third from our own capital improvement founds. There is
no cost overruns. As a matter of fact, we are under budget, but unfortunately not within the time frame we hoped for. This
was caused partly because of the extreme rainy weather and partly because of contractor and parts problems.
Also, have you considered the further disruption of traffIC in that very busy area? I drive through there week day mornings and
the back-up is terrible. How long will this go on?
Yes, we discussed this in great detail. Stopping and removing the pillars will have no effect on the completion of the
project. These are design elements and are not
part of the critical path of the road work. If and when the pillars are removed, they will be done at nighttime with some very
powerful concrete saws. Zip.... done.
And I also drive through there every day and have been not just a little annoyed by the contractor shutting down whole

lanes for simple work.
As a long-time citizen of Saratoga, I feel I have a right to know the answers to these questions Bnd that you, as mayor, would be
the most appropriate person to ask. If I am mistaken, please advise me on whom to contact.
-
I agree, you have the right and that is why I am answering you as specifically as I can. As you know, the council only sets
policy, we are not in charge of day to day operations of running of the city. But, you can see how direct input of people, like
you, influence our decisions.
We normally don't go around undoing projects in a willy nilly fashion. We don~ have the money, time or patience to do so.
So you can imagine there must have been a pretty big public input to cause this action, and there was.
So this is really democracy in action. The 'council' made a decision that didn~ seem to work. People told us that, and we
reviewed that decision and recognized the 'council' made a mistake. The 'council' is a general term. This council.
obviously didn~ design or approve the original work. It was done many years ago.
Now for my very personal opinion. I supported the pillars in the final approval last year, even when some city council
members wanted them removed. I stated that this was the approved plan and we should stick to it. What I didn~ realize
until this year, was that the specific design elements of the pillars had almost not public input. Again, done years ago.
After the pillars were semi-built, it became clear even to me that the design had flaws. There was not only the issue of
gateway beauty, there were also safety issues that never came up before. Pillars within inches of fast cars are generally
not a good idea. Think of Princess Diana and the pillars in the tunnel of Paris. Most pillars now have safety rails.... not
such a nice idea for our Gateway.
And besides, I personally think they are ugly. Sorry.. I like gateway entrances to bey pretty and represent something nice.
They don't.
I'm sorry to be a bit long-winded. The council tends to be a bunching bag. Sometimes well deselVed, sometimes not. I
think in this case, we did a
good job of finding faull in ourselves and correcting it. We decided, as a whole, to take the heat so that the city should not
have to bear the burden of
a bad decision. And remember, the pillars are a very small part of the overall gateway project. which is underbudget, if
not unfortunately on time.
I trust that in the long run, people will respect that.

Please te1l me that this story is an April Fools Day
joke. Because, that is what it is, a joke! After
spending an undisclosed amount of the taxpayers'
monies on this unwanted, unnecessary so-called
"beautification project", our city leaders are now
going to tear it down because an undisclosed number of
our citizens believe in some Chinese superstitions and
feel "uncomfortable" about it? What is our City
Council thinking (or in this case, not thinking)? We
have gone through months of disruption on
Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd. due to the construction of the
median, the installation of these pi11ars, the
insta1lation of a traffic light at Seagull, and the
wiring for another one a block away at Kirkmont (not
needed nor wanted: hear that City Council?), not to
mention the re-paving, digging up and re-paving of the
first paving. Before we start tearing down what was
just erected, I would ca1l upon the City Council to
answer a few questions to the entire body of citizens
in Saratoga. The article quotes Mayor Kline as saying
"two workshops were held, and after a lot of
discussion, the council decided to change the design
and take the heat for it". Just when were these
workshops held, who attended them, and why wasn't the
citizenry at large notified about them? Why weren't
we notified that the council was even considering
tearing down what they had commissioned? (The article
says Kline asked about 80 people about the project;

Saratoga, and not a majority of them believe in Feng
Shni). And for that matter, please disclose to the
taxpayers, who paid for this, the name of the
person( s) who approved this design in the first place,
and exactly how much it has cost to date to implement
this fiasco (yes, its undeniably ugly, but its there
now; Parisians thought the Eiffel Tower was ugly when
first erected). How much more will it cost to tear it
down and plant trees? (perhaps we could ask those who
are "uncomfortable" with the design to foot the bill
for re-doing it; I certainly don't think any more
public funds should go into this project!) Before the
City Council does another thing on this matter, I want
to call for a city-wide referendum on the June ballot
to see if a majority of the voters feel our monies
should be further wasted. (personally, I'd opt for
using the monies to fill in the holes around the
manhole covers on the southbound lanes of
Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd that have been rattling the
alignments out of all our cars for the past few
weeks). This whole project is indicative of the lack
of direction of this Council; it is a blessing that
the front-page article says that three of them will be
leaving in November!

Hi Jack,
1. The Arts Commission.
2. The architect. This was a design element which was part of the original master plan design,
although the details such as height and mass, was designed by the Architect alone.
The final arch design was approved by City Council prior to construction so the City Clerk will have
record of that design decision. As you know the original entrance was changed from having a water
feature to save funds.
Last week City Council directed staff to remove the columns and replace them with trees because they
do not fit well with the overall design of the project. Over the next few weeks they will be removed.

Dear Mr. Khanh,
I read your article on the Saratoga pillars. I am a 20-year Saratoga resident and also
wondered why it took so long to complete the project. As to my view, instead of
spending money to remove those pillars, it will be better to put beams on the top of those
pillars and grow vines or ivies over like many other cities did. This may beautifies the
spot. I would appreciate it if you would pass this suggestion to the Saratoga city.

However. due to the quoted $40,000 cost of erecting the columns and the estimated $15.000 to remove them, I would like to see the city explore
seeking citizen inputs on modifying the column architectural design to obtain a more attractive and appealing city entrance structure. Some talented

Dear Mr. Nunez:
Thank you for returning my call. 1 know you are very busy, and like other municipal employees, you are
working shorthanded
In regards to the pillars at Saratoga's new Northern Gateway Entrance, other than looking like they are not
completed (1 thought beams would eventually be placed on top of the pillars to make an arbor), there is nothing
_wrong with them.
.1 am totally opposed to spending (what 1 have head is
$15,000.00) ANY funds to remove them. Besides the additional costs to remove the pillars, removing them will
result in more traffic congestion and a destruction of the vegetation that has been planted.
1 would have two suggestions. First, let's give the pillars a chance to stand for several years. The growth of the
trees, plants and ground cover will give this area an altogether different look.
If, after several years, dissatisfaction continues to prevail, finish the job by placing California Redwood beams
atop the pillars and planting climbing vegetation (bougainvilleas, honeysuckles, etc.) at the base of the pillars
and let them climb and cover the pillars.
1 will make every effort to atrend the April 19th meeting, when this issue will be discussed in an open forum.
Thank you for your call and reading my concerns and recommendations.

Dear Leila Hughes,
Thank you for your email, the council really appreciates hearing from you and listening to
your views. Which I must say is shared by many
in the community. After two workshops in which the council tried to
'dress-up' the pillars with trellis and hanging baskets, etc, we
finally caved in and voted to replace them with trees. By the way,
all the dress-up options cost more than removing the pillars.
However, we decided this in a 5-0 vote at a workshop. I should have
agendized this for a normal televised city council meeting. That
was probably my fault and as you can see I am trying to address that
small part of a very large project and frankly we

Request for Sign for North Campus
Dear Council Members,
It has come to my attention that the North Campus property location is not well known by
the citizens. Even though the City has owned it for 4 years, there is no signage for this
property. Even the old "Grace United Methodist Church" sign has been removed. Therefore I I
politely request that the City place a non-partisan identification sign, such as "City of
Saratoga's North Campus Complex" in a visible location along Prospect Ave.
I feel this sign is particularly important due to the Measure J vote in June. No matter
which position you take on Measure J, it is important for the voters to understand exactly
what this property is, that they are selling or keeping. An informed electorate is the
foundation of democracy.
I am certain the city council also wishes to encourage voter education.
The North Campus sign need not be expensive or difficult to obtain. A vinyl banner style
sign would only cost a few hundred dollars and could be available in a week or two. Even
temporary "real estate" style signs would nicely identify the property from the street.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
- .(atie Alexander
Joleta Ave, Saratoga
