Director Sullivan noted that the Guidelines were presented to the Planning Commission in fall of 2002 and a resolution was adopted to recommend the Guidelines to the City Council. Director Sullivan noted that the Guidelines caused disharmony amongst the business interest and the residential member of the taskforce. Director Sullivan noted that the City Council proceeded to adopt four purpose statements and appointed a small subcommittee. The goals established for Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road were: · Successful Business Environment in the Saratoga-Sunnyvale Corridor · Enhance Neighborhood Quality of Life · New commercial Projects to be Considered with the Rural Character of Saratoga · Gateway Design Guidelines to be Consistent with existing Saratoga Zoning Regulations Director Sullivan explained that the new subcommittee was charged with de- regulating the proposed document so that it contained policy rather that ordinance language. Director Sullivan noted that the subcommittee met throughout the summer and fall of2003. On September 16, 2003 the subcommittee voted 6-1-1 (member Mallory opposed, member Barry absent) to present the revised document to the City Council. The revisions make the document consistent with the City's other policy documents including the Village Guidelines and the Residential Design Handbook. Mayor Streit opened the public hearing and invited public comments. AI Sal stated that he was a member of the subcommittee and urged the Council to adopt the proposed document. Jack Mallory stated that he was a member of the subcommittee and did not support the document. Mr. Mallory stated that the document only satisfies property owners' interests. Katie Alexander stated that she was a member of the subcommittee and fully supported the document because it protects the residents' privacy and is pedestrian friendly. Jeff Walker urged the Council to oppose the document because it would change the character of Saratoga. Mayor Streit closed the public hearing. 7 Councilmember Kline thanked City staff and the committee members. Councilmember Kline noted that this was not an easy task. Councilmember Kline stated that the goal was to help create viable commercial environment and add value to the residential areas.

DISCUSSION REGARDING AN EXISTING GENERATOR LOCATED AT 14038 CHESTER AVENUE STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Accept report; direct staff and advice Mr. Radding of City procedures. Tom Sullivan, Community Development Director, presented staff report. Director Sullivan eXplained that Mr. Radding has appeared before the Planning Commission and the City Council in an effort to call attention to his neighbor's generator. Director Sullivan stated that based on advise from the City Attorney Wittwer, Mr. Radding was advised that the Planning Commission did not have jurisdiction over appeals under Article 7-30 (Noise Control Regulation) where there was no permit approval required. The City Council has appeal jurisdiction. Mr. Radding was also advised that it was too late to file an appeal of a decision that has been made on or about May 1, 2003. Director Sullivan noted that at this time Mr. Radding's options are limited to filing a complaint with City Code Enforcement any time that the generator in question exceeds City Noise Standards for the time it is operating. The only exemption is when the generator is being operated to protect against a risk of flooding. A discussion took place in regards to the current operational times of the generator in question and discussed why the noise cannot be mitigated. Director Sullivan stated that the Planning Commission is recommending that in the near future the City Council amend the Zoning Code to address emergency generators, requiring homeowners to apply for a use permit so the City could avoid these situations in the future. City Attorney Taylor stated that the City's Code does not address the source of noise therefore there is no authority to direct the City to follow. City Attorney Taylor stated that the generator complies with the City's noise ordinance during the day. The generator would only be in violation if it operated at night other than in the event of an emergency. Councilmember Kline asked Director Sullivan to clarify what the Council is supposed to act on. Director Sullivan stated that staff recommends that Council uphold Attorney Wittwer's decision. Herb Radding addressed his concerns regarding the generator stating that he has been trying to work with his neighbor for over a year to mitigate the noise with no success. Mr. Radding asked the City Council to overrule the City Attorney's ruling. Mr. Radding noted that the bedrooms in his house are 75 feet away from the generator. 9 Vice Mayor Waltonsmith stated that the City should have a mediation program. David Dornblaser noted that he is the owner ofthe generator and only installed it to operate the sump pumps. Mr. Dornblaser stated that he spent $20,000 on the quietest generator on the market. Mr. Dornblaser also noted that his son does have a medical condition requiring that he use a humidifier during the night. Mr. Dornblaser noted that the generator operates once per week for 15 minutes and after that time his wife turns the switch off. Mr. Dornblaser stated the generator is for emergency use only. Mr. Dornblaser asked that the City stop harassing him on this issue because he has not violated any City codes. Mr. Dornblaser asked the Council to close this issue once and for all. Councilmember Kline noted there is no reason this has been brought to the City Council's attention, no code violations have been sited nor does the Council have any enforcement rights. Councilmember Kline suggested that an additional amendment to the City Code to address his type of issue be expedited. Consensus of the City Council to direct staff to start the process to amend the City's code to address generator and look into starting a neighborhood mediation program. 11. PROPOSAL FOR ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES FROM THE CITY OF SAN JOSE STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Accept report and direct staff accordingly. Lorie Tinfow, Assistant City Manager, presented staff report. Assistant City Manager Tinfow stated that at the October 15th City Council meeting staff was directed to issue a RFP to the City of San Jose for Animal Control Services. Assistant City Manager Tinfow noted that staff attempted to structure the RFP to elicit information and service levels at the minimal level and a level comparable to the level at SV ACA. The response is that staff cannot completely offer an apples to apples comparison. Assistant City Manager Tinfow stated that the San Jose's proposal clearly reflects an understating of Saratoga's desire to maintain some level of certainty over long- term animal control costs. The proposed contract terms are as follows: · $175,000 a year for the first 3 years · Contract to be increased in three-year increments according to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumer (CPIU) plus 2% · Contract for 20 years and every third year be reviewed Assistant City Manager Tinfow explained the costs differences between SV ACA and the City of San Jose's proposal. 10 Assistant City Manager Tinfow noted that at a recent Town of Los Gatos meeting Council reviewed the City of San Jose's proposal and directed staffto negotiate a contract with them. Assistant City Manager Tinfow added that the City of Cupertino has recently partnered with the Town of Los Gatos on negotiations with San Jose. Discussion took place amongst the City Council on the effects of the JP A if the Town of Los Gatos withdraws. Mayor Streit stated that his concern from the beginning has been to find the most cost effective animal control services for the City of Saratoga with the appropriate level of service. Mayor Streit commented that the Council might not have enough information tonight to compare all of the options provided by San Jose and the proposed options that the City Managers came up with. Mayor Streit suggested that the City wait until after the SV ACA Board meets on Monday, December 3rd. Councilmember Bogosian suggested that Los Gatos, Cupertino and Saratoga approach San Jose as a three city contract. Mayor Streit noted that he concurred with Councilmember Bogosian. Councilmember Kline stated that his concern is that each side is lowering their price in order to compete and questioned its feasibility in the long run. Consensus ofthe City Council to direct staffto work with Cupertino and Los Gatos to continue negotiations to refine and clarify provisions in the RFP response from the San Jose.

After that a discussion took place in regards to the proposed date for the annual City/Commission joint meeting. 11 City Clerk Boyer explained that in the past the City Council met with each Commission on the 2nd or 4th Tuesday of every month. In an effort to eliminate the amount of scheduled meetings, the City Council tried a different approach last year. An all day Saturday meeting was held allowing each Commission 45 minutes to meet with the Council. City Clerk Boyer stated that at the November 5th Council meeting it was suggested that Commissions meet with the City Council prior to the beginning of regular scheduled City Council meetings, which are held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month.

Assistant City Manager Tinfow briefly explained these topics developed by the Ad-Hoc Committee.

Assistant City Manager noted that the Ad-Hoc Committee recommends that they operate for one year and then report back to the Council on progress and remaining objectives. Councilmember Bogosian suggested this item be a retreat topic to discuss what the Council would like to see in the Village, which would provide the AdHoc Committee with some direction to start with. Councilmember Kline suggested that at the first AdHoc Committee meeting the group should draft goals and objectives and present them to Council for discussion. 12 Councilmember Bogosian noted that he thinks that Council should discuss goals before the AdHoc Committee members are selected.

STRATEGY FOR LEGISLATIVE REDISTRICTING STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Accept report and direct staff accordingly. Dave Anderson, City Manager, presented staff report. City Manager Anderson presented that background in regards to the redistricting process. City Manager Anderson stated that the 2001 redistricting was based on population information from the 2000 census. City Manager Anderson noted that according to the California Constitution there could only be one redistricting each decade. City Manager Anderson stated that the Redistricting Bill (SB 8020) was passed by both houses of the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor on September 26, 2001. 13 City Manager Anderson noted that as it turned out, the new boundaries of California State Legislative Districts met the letter of the law, but were highly gerrymandered to protect incumbent legislators. This produced some very irregular district boundaries. Among the worst example of this kind is the new 15th Senate District. This new district encompasses the City of Saratoga on the northern boundary, following the coastline south to Santa Cruz, Monterey, and to Santa Maria as it southern end. City Manager Anderson stated that the principal of "Communities of Interest" has been violated in this case. City Manager Anderson explained that the effect of cutting City of Saratoga residents off from the rest of Silicon Valley where it is located and associating it with coastal communities to the south divided by the Santa Cruz Mountains range, and two different counties. City Manager Anderson noted that the new Governor campaigned on the platform of insuring fair redistricting and competitive elections. Councilmember Bogosian asked if any other city has taken action on this issue. City Manager Anderson replied that this issue is becoming a topic of discussion amongst the cities. Councilmember Kline noted that the City of Santa Clara filed a lawsuit against the State on this matter - it's still ongoing. Councilmember Kline noted that the City should be concerned not just with the districts that have been gerrymandered but all ofthe Senate seats because they all have affects on Saratoga. Councilmember King suggested that the West Valley Mayors/Managers Association discuss this issue. Councilmember Kline pointed out that currently the City's interests are not represented. Councilmember Kline noted that the City should take a stand and write a letter to the Governor. Consensus of the City Council to write a letter to the Governor.
