more choices. He also reviewed Basic Cable and Cable Vision, what

charges. Mr. Haggarty stated South Bay is pleased to begin rebuilding
the system in Saratoga.
Councilmember Wolfe asked if they have placed similar systems in other

Mr. Haggarty stated they rebuilt the system in 1993 in Milpitas and Los
Gatos/Monte Sereno area. He noted the system proposed for Saratoga is
taking the Fiberoptics much deeper into the neighborhoods.
Each Councilmember received presentation material.
B. Public Testimony regarding proposed increased assessments
concerning LLA-1 per Government Code 54954.6 (a)(1)
Public Works Director Perlin presented the staff report dated July 6,
1994 notingthe purpose of this hearing is to conduct a public meeting
and then direct staff accordingly. He added, specifically, the
assessments are proposed to be increased in Zones 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11,
12, 13, 14, 16, 17 and 22. He noted all property owners were sent
notices regarding this hearing and the protest hearing. Me stated as
a result of decisions made at the June 15 Council meeting the merger
of zones have been abandoned because of deficits accumulated in certain
zones. He stated it is still proposed that the maintenance costs for
Zones 2 and 9 as well as for Zones 10, 14 and 18 be distributed equally
to each property within each respective zone. Mr. Perlin stated he has
refined the assessment formula for the new Village Commercial Zone,
Zone 24, as outlined in the staff report. He stated the Council is not
required to take any action at this time, but to receive public input
and direct staff. He noted his office has received several protests
at this time and will continue to receive protests up until the August
3rd meeting.
Councilmember Tucker noted she received a protest letter and would like
it made part of the record.
City council Minutes 4 July 6, 1994
Councilmember Wolfe questioned the deficits and surpluses in certain
Zones.
Mr. Perlin stated deficits occur when the cost of services for a zone
exceeds the amount levied to that zone and regarding the surplus, the
assessment has been higher than services required for that zone.
At the City Manager's request, Mr. Perlin explained the method of.
spreading the assessments. He noted there are two components: 1)
Administrative Costs - these are spread equally to all properties
within the district; 2) Maintenance Costs - these costs are specific
to each particular zone and spread proportionally to each property
within a particular zone. He also reviewed construction costs and
noted this is any item which is a one time cost. He added prior year
carryover is a surplus or deficit which has built up over the years.
The estimated property tax flows into the district for those zones
created prior to the passage of Prop. 13 and this is a revenue source
back into the district and into particular zones. Mr. Perlin explained
the method of assessment for Zone 24, Village area, as outlined in the
staff report.
Mayor Burger reiterated that the Council will not take any action, but
would like to hear from the public and direct staff accordingly.
Mr. Alden Heintz, Fredericksburg Ct., Zone 2, stated he is representing
Zone 2 and his wife is the President of the Home Owners Association.
He noted he has brought a letter protesting the assessment. Mr. Heintz
pointed out that there are large amounts of expenditures in FY 94/95
as compared to FY 93/94. He requests that the carryover negative
amounts be assessed one time and would not like the assessment
increased to pay for this deficit. He expressed concern about the
merger of zones 2 and 9 because zone 9 is in a less favorable financial
condition. He noted all his concerns are contained in his letter.
Mr. Denny Paul, 14711 Vickery Place, Zone 7, stated his existing
assessment is zero and now the City is proposing to assess zone 7. He
believes the home owners in this zone receive no benefits from this
assessment as there is no public lighting or public landscaping in
their tract.
Mr. Perlin stated Zone 7 was one of the original 9 zones created by the
City and reviewed the history of this zone, as outlined in the staff
report. He noted they had a surplus, that being the reason for the
zero assessment last year. He noted zone 7 includes the area around
the Village Area and there are street lights scattered throughout this
area. He believes the residents of zone 7 do receive a benefit from
the street lighting.
Ms. Porter, Zone 7,.stated as explained in the letter addressed by Mr.
Paul, the residents of this zone do not derive any benefit from this
lighting district. She noted on the periphery of the tract there are
two lights which have been a detriment to people below them. She noted
since they provide their own lighting they should not be included in
this district. She stated this district has been in affect since 1980
and asked how much longer it will be in affect. She noted most often
these items could be considered as a basic tax expense as opposed to
a special assessment and asked whether this is a way of avoiding Prop.
13. She asked if the Council may give consideration to a City vote
when forming the district.
Mr. Perlin stated, regarding the district being in effect, each year
the Council reauthorizes the district if the street lights and
landscaping maintenance will be maintained. He noted this is an annual
maintenance district and as long as there are items to be operated and
maintained the district will remain in effect. Regarding avoiding Prop
13, Mr. Perlin stated the law clearly states what a tax is and what a
benefit assessment ls.
City Manager Peacock stated the landscaping and lighting act was passed
in 1972 and Mr. Perlin stated the district was not created in Saratoga
City Council Minutes 5 July 6, 1994
until 1980 and over the years zones are formed as the district grows.
He explained the detachment mechanism from the district or particular
zone and noted in 1992 zone 23 was dissolved. He stated if properties
are detached fewer properties are left in the district and the
assessment would increase.
Ms. Jeannie Heintz, Fredericksburg Ct., zone 2, asked if the residents
have any say in the merger of zones 2 and 9. She also noted there are
new administrative and overhead costs which they never had before.
Mr. Perlin explained the proposed merger of zones 2 and 9 noting that
these zones are contiguous to each other and the property owners from
each zone can ingress and egress through the other zone. He believes
that all property owners in this area should be treated equally. He
explained that the zones will'be kept separate because of the deficits
accumulated and the deficit amounts are being assessed separately to
each zone, but the maintenance costs are being assessed equally. He
stated the administrative costs are shared equally throughou~ the
district. He noted the City Council has the ability to administer the
district how they see fit. Mr. Perlin stated the administrative and
over head costs were added for the first time last year by the City
Council. Regarding the repair item, Mr. Perlin stated this item is 25%
of the contract maintenance cost and can be changed, but money should
be available in the event that something happens in the zone that
requires some extraordinary repair. He stated if the money is not used
it will be rolled over to the next year.
Ms. Nancy Lecia, BeauchampsLn., Zone 16, stated her current assessment
is $42.58 and the proposed assessment is $58.20 and this is a
substantial increase. She asked the following questions: 1) Why should
the assessment be increased by almost 30%; 2) What caused the deficit;
and 3) When the deficit is met, will the assessment be reduced? Ms.
Lecia noted there are only two stone walls with two lights in their
tract and very little landscaping. She does not believe it costs $3100
per year to maintain these.
Mr. Perlin explained the costs being assessed to zone 16, as outlined
in the staff report. He noted next year the assessment may go down
because the deficit will have decreased.
Councilmember Tucker noted that $115 seems excessive for maintaining
the landscaping of Zone 16.
Mr. Perlin stated there are plans to rebid all the landscaping
districts this coming year. In answer to Ms. Lecia's question, he
noted the deficit will not be eliminated this year.
Mr. Larry Risling, 12735 Fredericksburg Dr., stated he agrees with
comments made by the Heintz and has concerns that their assessment is
being increased over 700% and this will more than cover the deficit.
He noted the amount of property being landscaped is approximately 1/6
of an acre.
City Attorney Riback stated in order for an increase not to take place
a majority protest must occur and it is by a majority vote weighted by
land size. He stated this was not the case until this year. Prior to
this year a majority protest was not available to citizens, but the law
changed. He pointed out if a majority p~otest was to take place and
succeed, the assessment would go back to what it was the prior year.
Mr. Perlin explained that there are 21 zones within the district and
the majority protest rules apply to the district as a whole.
City Manager Peacock stated the money assessed is at the City Council's
discretion. He noted that prior to 1993 the administrative costs were
charged to all the tax payers in Saratoga as opposed to the property
owners within the district.
Mr. Glen Crow, 18253 Vanderbilt, Zone 17, stated they are already
paying for maintenance for landscaping through an assessment. He asked
why the City has to do anything just to spend money. He asked who is
City Council Minutes 6 July 6, 1994
responsible for the electricity and maintenance of a signal, if
installed.
Mr. Perlin stated when the Sunland Park neighborhood was annexed into
the City a condition of the annexation was that the home owners sign
a deferred improvement agreement that is recorded against their
properties which obligates each of them to pay for certain improvements
along Quito Road. He stated, at the time, the improvements that were
contemplated involved the widening of Quito Road from two to four
lanes. The reason the improvements were deferred was because the City
did not want to widened just a short stretch of Quito Road. He noted
the home owners in Sunland Park approached the City within the last six
months to discuss this issue as well as other issues involving Quito
Road and the topic turned to, what could be done in lieu of widening
Quito Road in order to fulfill the obligations that were contemplated
by the deferred improvement agreements and at the same time what could
be done to improve the landscaping along the front of the subdivision.
Mr. Perlin noted what has been discussed is the development of a plan
that would allow for substantial landscaping improvements along this
subdivision. He noted this seems to be the direction the home owners
association wants to pursue. Instead of widening Quito Road, the home
owners are preparing to develop an improvement plan to landscape the
frontage of the subdivision. He stated the home owners are asking if
they implement this plan and agree to maintain it through their
landscaping and lighting district, could that satisfy the obligations
of the deferred improvements agreements? He stated the City is working
on this with the residents and the $3000 item for construction in Zone
17 is to retain a landscape architect to work with the City to develop
a plan. He noted if the plan can be implemented there would be a one
time significant assessment that would be placed on each of the
property owners in Sunland Park and then assessments would be
decreased. He stated some homeowners are also pursuing the possibility
of installing a traffic signal.
Mr. Wilton, 20450 Cox Ave., stated they cannot defeat this assessment
because they are a small part of a large district. He reviewed the
costs outlined for zone 2 and stated he challenges the data.
Mr. Perlin stated the Council needs to decide if the property owners
in zones 2 and 9 should pay for the maintenance along Cox and Saratoga-
Sunnyvale Road. He noted the proposal is to combine the costs and
spread them equally.
Mr. Wilton stated Mr. Periin did not address the source of the
estimates.
Mr. Perlin stated one must look at the data from zones 2 and 9 from
last year and compare them with zones 2 and 9 for this year.
Councilmember Jacobs clarified that the cost increase is because of the
merger of zones 2 and 9, but the deficit is not merged.
Mr. Murray Seigal, 12420 Sheridan Circle, Zone 2, asked, if the
citizens of Saratoga agree that the landscaping and lighting is
beneficial to the City, whether any consideration has been given to a
community wide landscaping and lighting district.
City Manager Peacock stated the Council must discuss any changes in the
assessments proposed.
Mr. Perlin stated the Council cannot increase assessments at this time,
but they can make decisions to decrease assessments.
City Manager Peacock stated there is the question regarding zone 7 and
the lights. He suggested Mr. Perlin identify on the map the location
of the lights.
Mr. Perlin stated the average cost of a street light is $15/mo. Mr.
Peacock stated an option is to do away with the lights and the zone.
Regarding zone 17, staff is working with the home owners. Regarding
16 and the cost of landscaping, as stated by Mr. Perlin bids will be
City Council Hinutes 7 July 6, 1994
re-opened. Mr. Peacock stated staff has prepared reports on a City
wide district in the past and this has been discussed by past Councils.
He noted this could not be done before August and there would be
complications if a City wide district is formed. Regarding zone 7, Mr.
Peacock stated the City Council could not reduce the size of the zone
and increase the assessment for the remaining properties, therefore the
deficit would increase. Mr. Peacock stated that the 25% cost repair
can be reconsidered.
Mr. Perlin stated the City does not spend on average 25% per year, but
there may be a repair item in any one year which may cost 25% of what
the annual maintenance budget is. He stated the 25% is a contingency
for unforeseen expenditures, but can be reduced.
Councilmember Tucker suggested looking at 15 or 20%.
Councilmember Moran noted that citizens are looking for justification
as to what the fees are for.
Mr. Perlin stated a number of zones were created when the property
owners approached the City and asked the City to take over the
maintenance of the area which were historically maintained by home
owners associations.
Mayor Burger stated staff will look at the concerns raised by the
public and a report will be brought back the Council at the next
meeting for direction.
C. Personnel Actions for FY 1994-95
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution setting
management salary ranges for FY 1994-95; approve change in salary range
from Range 89 to Range 94 for Public Services Assistant.
Ms Carolyn King, Assistant to City Manager, presented the staff report
dated July 6, 1994.
Councilmember Tuck&r asked if the adjustment of 5% and additional 4%
next year for the Public Services Assistant position will change the
range.
Ms. King stated if approved the increase next year would change the
range. She also noted that the position was changed last year, but the
salary range was not..
Councilmember Tucker asked about the Public Services Assistant
involvement in the Animal and Waste control issues.
Ms. King stated she has worked closely with the City Manager and has
been the staff person dealing with the County representing the City
regarding Solid and Animal Waste.
City Manager Peacock stated much of the Public Service Assistant's time
is devoted to both animal and solid waste control.
In response to Councilmember Tucker~s question regarding management
salary, Mr. Peacock stated there are no management personnel at the top
of the salary range.
Councilmember Tucker stated she is uncomfortable moving forward at this
time until the compensation study is complete.
Councilmember Jacobs agreed and noted the compensation study should
include all employees.
Councilmember Wolfe stated he would also like to see the results of the
compensation study.
Mayor Burger stated it is her concern that the study may take some time
and then how long it would be before they take personnel actions.
City Council Minutes S July 6, 1994
Councilmember Jacobs reiterated that the City should go forward with
the study and should not move forward on compensation until the study
is done.
Councilmember Tucker stated the compensation study will be discussed
at the Cities Association.
Councilmember Moran stated the study should be done and the Council
should have the flexibility.to act on the results of the study.
City Manager Peacock stated if changes are proposed as a result of the
compensation study, these must be negotiated with the employees
association. He stated this may be a complex issue in terms of
involving other cities, and the study may take longer. Mr. Peacock
briefly reviewed retroactive pay.
Councilmember Jacobs briefly discussed making the salary retroactive
back to the time the agreements are signed. Mr. Riback stated this can
be done as long as the Council announce their intent.

PASSED 5-0.
D. Private Sector Compensation Study Consultant Selection
Staff recommends that the City Council select a date to interview one
or more consultants.
Councilmember Jacobs stated he would be willing to interview all three
consultants, but would like to solicit more bids.
Councilmember Moran suggested asking the Finance Committee for
recommendations.
Councilmember Tucker statedit is important to compare this study with
a similar entity and the consultant should be aware that Saratoga
cannot be.compared to cities such as San Jose.
City Manager Peacock stated he could contact a number of other
companies, but believed the City Council wanted to move forward on
this.
Councilmember Wolfe also noted he would like input from the Finance
Committee. Councilmember Tucker stated it would be a good idea to have
at least three more bids.
Councilmember Jacobs reiterated that he would like to see at least
three more bids, preferably Bay Area Companies.
It was agreed that the City Manager and Councilmember Tucker would work
together to obtain three more bids.
