City Council Minutes 3 June 1, 1994 Dr. Stutzman, Park Dr., stated it is appropriate for the Council to commend citizens for the good they do for the community, yet it is not appropriate for the Council to commend individuals on the Council for the good they do. He stated he would like to comment on issues Councilmembers Monia and Kohler have been responsible for. Mayor Tucker stated this is not the appropriate forum. She believes this is campaigning and is unfair to other candidates. She noted this forum is to do City business.' Councilmember Anderson stated one of the restrictions in the Brown Act is that items before the Council must be within the jurisdiction of the City Council and campaigning is not within the jurisdiction of the City Council. Councilmember Kohler stated it would be acceptable for Dr. Stutzman to commend the Council as a whole and not discuss individual Councilmembers. Councilmember Monia concurred. Dr. Stutzman stated he regrets he cannot speak. Ms. Monique Drumm, 18395 Montpere Way, addressed the Ravenwood Park work and noted Councilmember Monia was never thanked publicly for his involvement. She stated she would like to read a copy of a letter sent to the Saratoga News. Mayor Tucker stated this is not appropriate at this time. Ms. Drummsubmitted the letter and photographs for Councilmember Monia. Mr. Donald Macrae, 20679 Reid Ln., addressed the environment and noted he is a strong advocate for saving the few remaining open space lands in Saratoga. He noted there is a need to preserve the open space as it is part of the City's heritage. He stated Nelson Gardens is an example of this need. Mr. Bert Martel, Fruitvale Ave., stated he sent a request to the City regarding the Brown Act and the City Manager responded with something not relevant to his request. He noted the freedom of information request was not acknowledged. He stated he resents the disrespect shown for freedom of information. He submitted legal requirements regarding the freedom of information request. Councilmember Anderson stated she would like a report back from staff regarding Mr. Martel's request. Ms. B.J.Stewart, resident, spoke in favor of a sheriff's sub-station at West Valley College and believes this is a good location. Mr. Don Whetstone, Vickery Ave., stated at the last Council meeting he discussed the Saratoga Creek, but the one key point he made was not discussed. He informed the Council that there is a continuous flow of contaminated water flowing into-the Creek and this is a violation of the Federal Clean Water Act and the City is responsible for this. He noted children are still playing in the creek and presented a video tape showing this. Mayor Tucker stated the City is pursuing this issue and is as concerned as Mr. Whetstone is. C. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS 1) W. D. Whetstone, requesting that City inform the public concerning radiation levels near the new cellular transmitter in village City Manager Peacock stated that staff did send Mr. Whetstone, the applicant, GTE and Dr. Polson a letter. He noted Dr. Polson prepared Cit~ Council Minutes 4 June 1, 1994 a response which is included in the staff report. He stated Mr. Whetstone is asking that the City independently verify the radiation exposure and inform the public of this increase. Mayor Tucker stated the City made a decision on this issue and if citizens continue to express concerns they need to address these to the PUC. Mr. Don Whetstone, Vickery Ave. addressed the increase in .radiation with the new cellular antenna, he noted Councilmember Anderson asked this question, but never got an answer. Mr. Whetstone addressed the median ambient level in San Francisco as outlined in his letter dated May 10, 1994. He also addressed Dr. Pclson's letter. Mr. Scott Schneider, Springer Ave., stated he spoke to Bill Hammet from GTE regarding this matter and believes the City should post signs for people in the Village area. He also suggested looking at other alternatives. Ms. Kathleen. Amezcua, 14110 Shadow Oaks Way, noted she owns and operates the Coffee Exchange and noted this issue is not closed as the antennas are broadcasting. She added the only way this issue will be closed is to remove the antenna. She stated the City has a responsibility to the Citizens as a result of their decision regarding this antenna and they should inform the public of any dangers. Councilmember Anderson stated Dr. Polson gave a presentation in a workshop with the Council and indicated at that time, that a wire mesh trellis would help screen the antenna. She noted it was suggested that GTE put up this trellis at their cost, and the landlord of the building refused. Ms. kmezcua stated the council did not listen to the people and they are now appealing this to the PUC, but would like the Council to post signs. Councilmember Monia asked Ms. Amezcua if this antenna has hurt business. Ms. Amezcua stated customers are concerned and are aware of this. Dr. Polson addressed his letter dated May 24, 1994. He believes his analysis is correct and noted that scientific words mean very specific things. He noted if he believed there was a health hazard he would say so. Councilmember Anderson asked whether the emissions accumulate in the body. Dr. Polson stated 40 years of experiments indicate they don't. He noted there are many thousands of cellular based stations all over the world and there are no indications of health hazards. Councilmember Monia questioned the median range. He also asked whether any studies had been done on people who work within 30 to 50 feet from these cellular based stations on a daily basis. Dr. Polson stated the median is a range of values measured by the EPA for the greater San Francisco area. He also noted that there have been many studies done on exposed populations and there has been no indication of health hazards. He pointed out that there have been no specific studies done on cellular antennas. Councilmember Burger stated this matter is closed and any concerns should be brought to the PUC.

Mr. Peacock reviewed the other resolutions before the Council, as outlined in the staff report. Councilmember Kohler asked what would be the impact for development on sites such as the Paul Masson Mountain Winery. City Manager Peacock stated it depends upon when the development occurs. He noted there is a proposal in the ordinance which establishes an annual adjustment factor. Councilmember Anderson Stated the Council is basically changing the policy which was established in 1980 and setting up funds that acknowledges that this is a hardship on people to have the private roads. Also property owners will be feeding into a fund which recognizes that it is more costly to maintain these roads than flat land roads. She stated she would like to make sure that every applicant knows what is going to happen. Councilmember Monia asked whether, if there is a balance after 20 years, this would be distributed to the property owners on an equal basis. City Manager Peacock stated this will be the determination of some future City Council. Councilmember Monia asked about a sunset clause.

Mr. Riding, Mount Eden Estates, stated he is representing neighbors who support the resolutions before the Council. He noted they have been working for several years to get the streets accepted. He noted when he bought his lot he was aware of an agreement between the City and the subdivider, that indicated when improvements were done, the city would accept the improvements.

He added the resolution establishing the hillside street repair fee is to City Council Minutes 6 ~une'X, 1994 become effective 30 days from the date of its final passage and adoption. He stated he would like to make sure that these won't interfere with each other.

Mr. Rolf Brauchler, 13951 Damon Ln., stated he represents 15 homeowners who are in support of the resolutions before the Council.

He noted the City is two years into a five year contract and which has a cap of a 10% increase annually. The Council briefly discussed the opening of Highway 85, the additional traffic and more police patrols. Councilmember Anderson stated she would like to look into the Town of Los Gatos with regards to police protection.

Ms. Petrossi stated she had, but they do not want to put this in their budget. City Manager Peacock stated he had a discussion with Joan Pisani, Recreation Director, who indicated if the City Council wants to spend the $10,000 it should be put in the recreation budget as she has other preferences such as expanding the pre-school. The Council discussed the economic study budget item. City Manager Peacock stated the report to the City Council was that he had been in contact with the City of Los Altos and reviewed the process they went through to select an Economic Officer. He noted if the City proceeds with this activity it may involve more costs. He added the study will tell the Council whether or not it is worthwhile to have an Economic Officer for a City this size. He stated if the Council wish to go forward with this study they should allocate $20,000 in the budget. Councilmember Monia stated when the new Council is seated it is important to discuss how this should be structured, so that the money will not be put in jeopardy in the future. He stated if the Council does allocate the $20,000, staff and the Council need to discuss how the money should be spent and how it will be implemented. Councilmember Burger stated she concurs with Councilmember Monia. MONIA/ANDERSON MOVED TO ALLOCATE $20,000 IN THE BUDGET TO CONSIDER AN ECONOMIC STUDY. PASSED 5-0.

Mr. Perlin stated the homeowners in the area are considering improvements which they will pay for themselves. He noted it is also possible that they will fund a traffic signal on one of the streets that feed into their subdivision. He noted McCoy is being considered along with one other street. He does not believe it is necessary to install the signal right away, but the homeowners should be given time to discuss ~his and make a decision. City Manager Peacock addressed the deferred improvement agreements with this subdivision. He noted it is possible for the City to set up a landscaping and lighting zone and then the City could make the decision. Mr. Perlin stated what the homeowners will be deciding in the next week is whether or not they want to fund the cost of designing the landscaping improvements this year. He noted it will raise their assessments, but if they go ahead this would allow them to come up with plans for landscaping improvements and then fund the installation the following year. He noted the area is already part of the landscaping and lighting district. The Council now discussed the Compensation Study. City Manager Peacock stated work has been done in other areas. He stated if salaries are much higher they can be frozen or the City City Council Minutes 8 June 1, 1994 Council can hire a contractor for certain services.
