21 Council meeting was properly posted on April 22.
3. Agreements between City and Foundation
Proposals from Foundation:
Term of Lease - should be for a fixed period of time but long term
rather than year to year. Agreements should be consolidated and
rewritten to reflect the actual nature of the relationship as it
currently exists but 30-day cancellation should remain.
There are provisions of the agreementshwhich_the Foundation feels are
in conflict, but there were no specific presentations made in writing
with which to compare.
Paul Bowlin agrees to prepare a conflict comparison among the
agreements as a next step. Intent is to agree to remove such conflicts
once they are identified by both Council and Foundation.
4. Relationships with several organizations - should theybe with the
Foundation or with the City?
Hakone to act as coordinating body and others to enter into agreements
with Hakone, not the City. Basic agreements to be amended to reflect
this and that City is not to assume any financial liability system.
(Clerk's note: The following three items were discussed together.)
5. Proposals for transfer of costs and services from City to
Foundation
6.Hakone Notes to City - write off or set payback terms
7. Hakone Foundation Rental Income
If the City closes two days, Monday and Tuesday are not the best time.
Payback on maintenance costs: Council wants budget and business plan
so there is some way to measure progress against proposals. Should
cover both components to some degree. Foundation agrees to do that,
then City shall make a decision of proportion.
It is acceptable to switch to quarterly P/L and Balance Sheet with
comparison to budget.
The quarterly P/L for the third quarter was submitted.

City council Minutes 2 April 27, 1993
Councilmember Monia reported that no decision on sales tax extension
had been made by Santa Clara County Cities Association; the matter was
held over to next month.
SCCCA is working up proposals to get to local press on problems of
cities.
It is felt that there is no doubt the State will take at least $2.6
billion from the cities and counties.
There is a proposal floating around to take 4% of operating budgets
instead of 22% of property tax.
Saratoga would be worse off under such a scenario according to City
Manager Peacock.
10. Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 10:10 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on May 3 for a
field trip with the City Geologist starting at the City Hall.
Respectfully submitted,
City Clerk
