PLACE: Comnunity Canter, 19655 Allendale Avenue
TYPE: A~]journed Regular Meetin~
Councilmembers Anderson, Clevenger, Hlava, Moyles, and Mayor Peterson were
present. Staff members present were City Manager Peacock, City Engineer Shook,
Planning Director Hsia, Community Services Director Argow, and Recreation
Director Pisani.
1. Civic Center Master Plan - General proposal on the concept plan was
tentatively approved to proceed with future planning. Specific concern about
connecting the employee parking lot with the Community Center parking lot was
expressed in terms of something which should be done soon without waiting for
construction of buildings. New Council Chambers should be designed as a multi-
purpose meeting room, i.e. level floor and no fixed seats. More centralized
location. for City Manager's Office should be considered.
2. Long Range Staffing - Findings and conclusions were generally accepted;
however, City should proceed to supply clerical support for the current CSO's
before determining that a third CSO is required. Space problems as a
constraint need to be dealt with. Staff to proceed to develop specific
proposal. Finally, if the median and park improvement propased in the CIP go
forward the issue of maintenance must be addressed in terms of more contracting
out for landscape maintenance versus hiring more park maintenance staff. City
should proceed with the least costly alternative.
3. Parking District #3 - It was generally agreed that the City should proceed
as outlined in the report. Proposed specific actions tentatively agreed to
come to the City Council on October 21. The issues of a parking deck as
proposed in the Draft Village Plan and removal of spaces on Turkey Track were
also discussed. The Council is limiting its cc~tribution to the district to no
more than $600,000.00.
4. Implementation Frogram/Saratoga Village Plan - The proposed implementation
plan was generally accepted and staff was authorized to continue to finalize
the draft specific plan. Much discussion ensued regarding the proposed
turnaround or roundabout at the end of Big Basin. It was agreed that
engineering studies need to be done to determine whether the turnaround would
achieve its intended purpose and whether the Foposed location is the best spot
since other locations have been suggested.
5. Capital Improvements Plan - The following passible changes were suggested.
In FY 1988-89 recalculate estimated cost of median improvements from Herriman
to Highway 9 on Highway 85; the $200,400 estimate appears to be too low.
In FY 1989-90 add funding for Big Basin Way Reconstruction to provide .Dower and
water to all proposed tree well locations as part of this project (estimated at
$50,000).
Medians on Prospect Avenue - Need to compare our propased scheduling to that of
San Jose and proposed scheduling of Route 85 construction.
Adjust overall priorities and funding for Civic Center based upon how the
scheduling of medians needs to be revised. Amend overall CIP and bring back to
Council for adoption.
6. Commentary on Grand Jury Repart - City and County Investments - The Mayor
was authorized to respond par the draft letter which was reviewed by the City
Council.
The meeting was adjourned to 7:30 p.m. on September 30, 1987, to closed session
to discuss the performance of the City Manager.
