He noted that last year they created the first Business Expo - an opportunity for businesses to showcase their business and services to the community. The Chamber has also revised The Taste of Saratoga by placing the food booths for participating restaurants in the middle of the street directly in front of the restaurant, which helped increase foot traffic into the restaurants and provided marketing opportunities for the restaurants.

Mayor Page noted Captain Calderone from the Santa Clara County Sheriff s Office was in the audience and asked him to address the issues that were raised tonight. Captain Calderone expressed his sympathy to the citizens that have been victims of these crimes of opportunity and noted that it is a difficult crime to monitor and be in the right area at the right time. Captain Calderone also noted that these types of crimes are growing in all cities and are mainly due to the poor economy. He noted vehicle burglaries have increased. He stated the Sheriff's Office does have a matrix and it appears that the Golden triangle area is being hit more with vehicle burglaries due to an easy exit from the area via the quick access to the freeways. He also stated he has assigned extra patrols in visible areas and residential areas and that the Sheriff's Office does reach out to citizens regarding vehicle burglaries and they do advise citizens not to keep valuables in their vehicles. In addition, he noted that Sheriff's Deputies have made more property crime arrests in the past year than in any other years previously; they do have a Neighborhood Watch Program - with a deputy assigned to facilitate this program for anyone that is interested. Captain Calderone stated that residents could do several things to protect their home and property and recommended that residents have motion sensor lights, car alarms, and not leave valuable items visible in their vehicles, including documents that identify your residence. Councilmember Nagpal thanked Captain Calderone for his support and asked if there was away to get the matrix information out to neighborhoods at large regarding burglary trends in the community -such as through Neighborhood Watch Programs. Captain Calderone stated that he currently provides this information to the contact person in neighborhoods that have the Neighborhood Watch Program and that they should forward this information on to other neighborhoods that may not have a Neighborhood Watch Program. Mayor Page thanked Captain Calderone for his continued efforts to keep the community safe and stated that we all need to work together to keep neighborhoods safe. He also asked if there was a need for a community meeting. Captain Calderone stated that he would like to put together a forum to provide feedback to the community regarding safety recommendations. Sangita Joshien -addressed the Council regarding Article 15-65 and asked that properties that are currently not in compliance with the zoning requirements be grandfathered in so that they can become compliant and also asked that this issue be a Council priority. COUNCIL DIRECTION TO STAFF Councilmember Hunter asked when Article 15-65 Nonconforming Uses and Structures ordinance is scheduled for discussion. City Manager Dave Anderson responded that Council will be discussing this issue at the January 30th Council Retreat, along with other ordinance revision priorities, during the Annual Community Development Work Plan segment. Councilmember Miller inquired about speaking with specific staff to familiarize himself with Article 1565. City Manager Anderson stated he should meet with Community Development Director John Livingstone. Councilmember Nagpal inquired about an action item with regard to the neighborhood safety issue and the forum Captain Calderone spoke of. City Manager Anderson noted that he meets regularly with Captain Calderone and that he would discuss the options with Captain Calderone.

ANNOUNCEMENTS Mayor Page noted that Administrative Analyst Crystal Morrow was present to provide information and a display regarding the City's new on-line Community Event Calendar. Ms. Morrow stated the Community Event Calendar is now up and running.

Mayor Page opened the public hearing. 7 The following people requested to speak on this item: Alex Tennant addressed the Council regarding landscaping/vegetation on his property and noted that he prefers to keep approximately a fifth of an acre as its natural vegetation and by doing this he can preserve an Oak tree in that area and conserve on water usage. He also noted that he contracts with a company on an annual basis to do the weed abatement on that fifth of an acre area and that this company does it in a timely manner based on the rainy season. He asked Council to remove him from the weed abatement program. Al Campbell addressed the council stating that he had received a notice in the mail last June and that this was the first notice he ever received indicating that he was in violation of hazardous weeds. Mr. Campbell commended Moe Kumre, representative from the.Santa Clara County Agriculture Department, for his assistance and willingness to work with Mr. Campbell regarding the abatement of weeds in low areas that are too wet to access currently. Mr. Campbell stated he objects to the required 30 feet of abatement as a fire break around his property. He stated there is a lot of habitat living in the areas that he is being asked to abate and he prefers not to disturb their environment. He asked Council to shorten the easement requirement. Mayor Page closed the public hearing. Moe Kumre, representative from the Santa Clara County Agriculture Department, was present to answer Council's questions and to explain how the abatement process works. Mr. Kumre stated the abatement program is set up to incorporate deadlines for the worst possible environment -dry season, flat lands, etc. He noted he will work with individual property owners to ensure a safe tractor entry to abate specific areas. He understands that certain properties. have conditions that don't allow tractor entry by the abatement deadline and will work with property owners to have a safe compliant deadline. He noted he would also like to meet with Mr. Campbell to look at the specific property area he addressed regarding the wildlife habitat to determine if this area could pose a fire hazard to his neighbors as well as to himself, the property owner. Mr. Kumre noted the April 15th deadline has been set and that an additional notice informing property owners of the deadline will be sent out in March. He stated property owners will need to be in compliance by that April 15th date or they can contact him to request an extension and must provide a reasonable explanation as to why they cannot abate their property by the deadline. In addition, Mr. Kumre stated no fees would be accessed until after the agreed upon date with anon-compliant property. There are no charges assessed to property owners that are compliant by the deadline. Council had some discussion regarding the number of notices sent to property owners and the purpose of the weed abatement program and how a property owner can get off the abatement program list. Mr. Kumre explained that there are two ways to get off the list; build and landscape your property so there is no natural vegetation and dry grasses (weeds) that could pose a fire hazard; or to provide voluntary compliance for three consecutive years during the inspection period of the abatement program. 8 Council thanked Mr. Kumre for his efforts in keeping the community safe and for working with property owners that have special requirements. RESOLUTION NO. 09-003 MILLER/NAGPAL MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION DECLARING A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS TO SPECIFIED PROPERTIES CONTAINING HAZARDOUS VEGETATION (WEEDS). MOTION PASSED 4-0-1 WITH VICE MAYOR KING ABSENT. OLD BUSINESS None NEW BUSINESS 9. HERITAGE RESOURCES INVENTORY UPDATE STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Recommend Staff initiate a contract with an Architectural Historian to update the Heritage Resources Inventory and; 2. Direct staff to apply for a grant from the State Historic Preservation Office potentially offsetting sixty percent of the consultant cost to update the Heritage Resources Inventory. Senior Planner Chris Riordan presented the staff report. Mr. Riordan noted that Council had met with the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) in a Joint meeting on September 3, 2008 and it was determined that Council and the HPC was interested in updating Saratoga's Heritage Resources Inventory (The Inventory). The Inventory is an official listing of properties identified by the HPC as having a heritage value or heritage character. The Inventory Update will confirm and update the documentation of historic resources already listing on the Inventory. Council and the HPC agreed that it could take a number of years to update the Inventory list if it was done by the HPC and felt that the Inventory update should be accomplished in a much shorter period of time. Based on direction from Council at that joint meeting, staff contacted three separate historical consultants to research the costs for a professional historian to update the Inventory. Mr. Riordan noted staff has discussed alternatives and projected costs to update the inventory with the HPC and with three separate Architectural Historian Consultants. Mr. Riordan provided Council with the specifics of those alternatives, which are: 1) The HPC completes the update which could take three years or longer to update the Inventory; 2) The HPC could update the Inventory with guidance and input by an Architectural Historian Consultant; 3) Staff initiates a contract with an Architectural Historian to update the Inventory. Mr. Riordan also noted that staff could apply for a grant from the State Historic Preservation Office to offset sixty percent of the consultant's cost to update the Heritage Resources Inventory. 9 Councilmember Miller asked if there was a real sense of urgency or if this update could be done effectively over atwo-year schedule. Mr. Riordan stated that at the Joint meeting with HPC in September of 2008, Council directed staff to update the Inventory quickly and to research costs to have an Historian update the list. Councilmember Hunter noted that she recently attended a presentation at the San Jose Historic Museum and asked if staff and HPC were aware that the State will provide free training to the HPC with regard to historic preservation status. Mr. Riordan noted he was aware of this free service. Councilmember Nagpal asked if the Inventory update was budgeted for if the City is unable to secure a grant. City Manager Anderson noted that some funds maybe available in the Community Development department for the purpose of hiring consultants for this purpose. Councilmember Hunter noted that if a consultant is hired it is important to hire a reputable consultant in this field. Discussion continued regarding the HPC's involvement in the Inventory update. Mr. Riordan noted the HPC would like to be involved in the process with the assistance of a consultant to complete the Inventory; however, this method may take two years or longer to complete. City Manager Dave Anderson suggested that in order to expedite the process they should do this in the same manner as the Housing Element plan was done. Have HPC provide the input, consultants do a draft, and then get comments from HPC. HPC would still give policy advice and overall direction without being involved in the time consuming details. Councilmember Hunter stated that when she was on the HPC in 2000 the inventory was the main focus of their job, which was very time consuming. Councilmember Hunter asked what the disadvantage was to having a consultant. Mr. Riordan noted that often times, projects that are done without the help of a consultant have to be redone by a professional consultant. Councilmember Nagpal stated that she thought it would be advantageous to have a consultant involved in this project and liked the concept illustrated by City Manager Dave Anderson. Mayor Page concurred that this method would involve the HPC by allowing them to set the guidelines and direction and have a consultant do the work. Councilmember Miller noted that if a consultant is to be hired to do the work with the participation of the HPC, the Inventory update should be completed within one year. 10 Councilmember Miller asked if the budgetary estimate was $25,000 as stated in Option 1. City Manager Anderson stated that is the estimate and that staff would do additional research to determine the cost of the project to see if it is within the $25,000 estimate; if not, staff will present additional options to Council. Councilmember Hunter also suggested staff call the State noting that she had an in- depth conversation with Mr. Donaldson at the recent San Jose Historic Museum presentation and that Mr. Donaldson suggested the City of Saratoga contact them regarding Saratoga's Heritage Resources Inventory update. NAGPAL/MILLER MOVED TO: 1) DIRECT STAFF TO INITIATE A CONTRACT WITH AN ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIAN TO UPDATE THE HERITAGE RESOURCES INVENTORY WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF THE HPC TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN ONE YEAR, AND; 2) DIRECT STAFF TO APPLY FOR A GRANT FROM THE STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE TO OFFSET THE CONSULTANT COST TO UPDATE THE HERITAGE RESOURCES INVENTORY.
