CITY OF SARATOGA PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING “ROTARY CLUB OF SARATOGA – END OF POLIO DAY” OCTOBER 23, 2009 WHEREAS, the Rotary Club of Saratoga’s “End of Polio Day, October 23, 2009”, is
a positive initiative to raise awareness and educate the citizens of Saratoga about the vital importance to eradicate Polio worldwide. Rotary brings 104 years of history to this initiative.
Rotary Club members are professional community leaders who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Saratoga’s Rotary
Club is one of 32,000 Rotary clubs located in more than 200 countries and geographical areas, that initiate service projects to address today’s challenges, including illiteracy, disease,
hunger, poverty, lack of clean water, and environmental concerns; and WHEREAS, in 1985, Rotary launched PolioPlus, a program to immunize the world’s children against polio. Rotary’s
grassroots leadership volunteer support and initial funding for vaccine provided the catalyst for the World Health Assembly’s resolution in 1988 to eradicate polio worldwide. Spearheading
partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative are the World Health Organization, Rotary International, U.S. Center for disease Control and Prevention and UNICEF; and WHEREAS, The
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded $355 million to Rotary International in the global effort to eradicate polio. $200 million is a challenge grant to Rotary and is one of the
largest challenge grants ever given by the Gates Foundation and the largest received by Rotary in its 104-year history. Rotary will spend the grant in direct support of immunization
activities carried out by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative; which is spearheaded by RI and its partners, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, and UNICEF. Rotary will distribute the funds through grants to WHO and UNICEF; and WHEREAS, Polio eradication has been Rotary’s top priority since 1985, with more than $1.2
billion contributed to the effort. At the Rotary District Conference in San Diego, California in February 2009, Bill Gates praised Rotary for providing the volunteers, advocates, and
donors who have helped bring about a 99 percent decline in the number of polio cases. “The world would not be where it is without Rotary, and it won’t get where it needs to go without
Rotary,” Gates said; and WHEREAS, the initiative demonstrated by the Rotary Club of Saratoga is one more community effort to invite the citizens of Saratoga to support Rotary’s goal.
The world stands firmly on the threshold of victory thanks to the achievements of the last 20 years. A polio-free world will be Rotary’s ultimate gift to children everywhere. “End Polio
Day, October 23, 2009” is one small step in helping Rotary achieve its goal. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Saratoga does hereby proclaim “End of
Polio Day” October 23, 2009. WITNESS MY HAND AND THE SEAL OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA on this 21st day of October October 2009. _________________________ Chuck Page, Mayor City of Saratoga

a clear understanding of the total creek cost and any legal costs to the City. In addition, Council suggested the Peck family reach out to the Saratoga/Monte Sereno Foundation for their

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 21, 2009 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Finance & Administrative Services CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Ann Xu, Accountant DEPT HEAD:
Mary Furey SUBJECT: Treasurer’s Report for the Month Ended August 31, 2009 RECOMMENDED ACTION Review and accept the Treasurer’s Report for the month ended August 31, 2009. REPORT SUMMARY
California government code section 41004 requires that the City Treasurer (the Municipal Code of the City of Saratoga, Article 2-20, Section 2-20.035, designates the City Manager as
the City Treasurer) submit to the City Clerk and the legislative body a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances. Section 41004. Regularly, at
least once each month, the City Treasurer shall submit to the City Clerk a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances. He shall file a copy with
the legislative body. The following attachments provide various financial data and analysis for the City of Saratoga’s Funds collectively as well as specifically for the City’s General
(Operating) Fund, including an attachment from the State Treasurer’s Office of Quarterly LAIF rates from the 1st Quarter of 1977 to present. FISCAL IMPACT Cash and Investments Balance
by Fund As of August 31, 2009, the City had $523,661 in cash deposit at Comerica bank, and $14,416,091 on deposit with LAIF. Council Policy on operating reserve funds, adopted on April
20, 1994, states that: for cash flow purposes, to avoid occurrence of dry period financing, pooled cash from all funds should not be allowed to fall below $2,000,000. The total pooled
cash balance as of August 31, 2009 is $14,939,753 and exceeds the minimum limit required. 35
Unrestricted Cash Comerica Bank $ 523,661 Deposit with LAIF $ 14,416,091 Total Unrestricted Cash $ 14,939,753 Cash Summary The Fund Balance schedule presented on the following page represents
actual funding available for all funds at the end of the monthly period. This amount differs from the above cash balance as assets and liabilities are components of the fund balance
(an example is that accounts payable would lower cash available to expend). Therefore, Total Unrestricted Cash is adjusted by the addition of Total Assets less Total Liabilities to arrive
at Ending Fund Balance. Total Unrestricted Cash $ 14,939,753 Plus: Assets 235,468 Less: Liabilities (1,847,913) Ending Fund Balance $ 13,327,307 Adjusting Cash to Ending Fund Balance
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION The City would not be in compliance with Government Code Section 41004. ALTERNATIVE ACTION N/A FOLLOW UP ACTION N/A ADVERTISING, NOTICING

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 21, 2009 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Leo Salindong DIRECTOR: Mary Furey IT Analyst
Finance & Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: IT Support Contract Renewal with ZAG Technical Services RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept report and approve renewal contract with ZAG Technical
Services. REPORT SUMMARY: In April 2009, the City of Saratoga signed a six month trial contract with ZAG Technical Services (ZAG) to assist staff in providing technical support for implementing
current and proposed critical IT projects. Utilizing contract services to supplement staff in such projects is essential in meeting proposed needs and attaining results of the highest
quality in a timely manner. Staff interviewed multiple vendors and received informal bids focusing on reliability, price, and expertise in various IT services. ZAG was selected based
on the criteria and their knowledge in IT support services for government technological needs and goals. During the last six months, ZAG’s services were utilized to assist staff in completing
various high priority projects while also helping to maintain server stability to minimize downtime. With more and more of our application software accessible via the internet, it is
crucial that the City’s network remains stable and reliable. ZAG’s familiarity and involvement with a wide variety of server infrastructure setups provided valuable feedback and guidance
for evaluating, installing, and configuring the City’s necessary server room hardware and software upgrades. Such upgrades include installing a new tape backup system to properly handle
the City’s data backup duties. Important data including all electronic scanned files, department drive folders, and City database files are now backed up daily according to schedule.
ZAG is continuing to work with staff in implementing the City’s new backup software in order to deploy effective backup strategies for reliable data protection. After installing the
new tape backup system, ZAG recommended local documents from each desktop be transferred to a centralized server to improve the daily backup process. Previously, backup software would
individually connect to each desktop on the network and back up all the 40
essential data. However, if the desktop was turned off or if connectivity between the server and desktop was lost, data would not be properly backed up for that night. With ZAG’s recommendation
of migrating local documents to one centralized file storage server, nightly backups now run more efficiently by backing up only one system each night rather than fifty systems. Another
project completed with ZAG’s assistance is the upgrade of the antivirus software. Staff realized the City’s current antivirus software was outdated and needed to be upgraded, and that
failure to do so would result in various viruses and spyware entering the City’s network compromising the data and potentially destroying crucial information. As staff researched information
on this project and gathered proper procedures for the upgrade, it became clear that the upgrade was more complex than expected due to new configuration updates between the software
and server. Fortunately, ZAG had expertise with this software recently implementing it at another client location. ZAG assisted staff with the upgrade and provided information on how
to configure the software to protect the City’s network from harmful viruses. In addition, ZAG examined the City’s spam firewall to ensure correct configurations and settings were in
place and staff’s concerns that large amounts of spam emails were entering the network while legitimate emails were being blocked out. ZAG reviewed the firewall settings and made recommendations
on how to reduce unwanted spam messages. ZAG also applied new rules to prevent legitimate emails from being tagged as spam and advised staff to monitor the firewall daily to keep up
with current spam trends and changes. ZAG has also worked extensively with the City’s email server, conducting audits to the email system, and making necessary improvements to ensure
server stability. All email messages now get scanned by both the City’s firewall and antivirus software before entering the network. ZAG also analyzed the email security settings within
the network, as well as remote access allowed from the Internet. With proper configuration, email communication for the City has now expanded with compatibility to the latest Windows
Mobile, Blackberry, and iPhone connections. ZAG is currently in the process of working with staff to properly archive city emails based on the City’s newly adopted retention policy.
ZAG addressed these concerns by implementing an email archiving system that will transfer email messages away from the email server to another server for storage. The new features will
prevent our email server from failing due to limited storage space and will allow for faster email search queries. Staff can now search the entire email system at once rather than search
each individual mailbox, thus making Public Records requests quicker and more efficient. As staff prepares for upcoming projects focused toward increasing overall user productivity,
it has become evident that certain tasks have been neglected due to limited time and resources. Microsoft releases critical Windows updates on a monthly basis repairing various security
flaws within its software. Staff normally researches the updates beforehand to check compatibility issues that may occur with City specific software. As an example, Microsoft might release
an update for Windows that could affect the overall performance of our Financial software system. With staff focused on other various tasks, installing updates without proper research
may cause instability within the network. To help prevent such accidents from occurring, ZAG now assists 41
staff in researching Microsoft’s latest updates and verifies them on a test environment. If any issues occur during the installation in the test environment, ZAG notifies staff of the
potential issue and provides recommendations to resolve the problem before network deployment. With staff time focused on daily tasks and planned upgrades, staff hopes to accomplish
future projects with the assistance of ZAG’s services. Below are proposed high priority projects to be addressed this upcoming year: PENDING PROJECTS Estimated Time Estimated Cost ($165/hr)
Implement new Email Archive software *Ability to save emails for future Public Records requests. *Incorporate to have in conjunction with new adopted retention policy. 20 hours $3,300

projects, servers, and upper-tiered technical support, the rate is $165/per hour. For lower end general desktop support, ZAG charges $80/per hour. Payment of emergency support service
guarantees staff dedicated access to ZAG emergency support; however standard hourly rates apply in addition based on level of support when requested. Council allocated $60,000 in the
IT Services Fund budget for technical support and assistance in fiscal year 2009/10. Unused contract funding will be carried forward to Fiscal Year 2010/11. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING
THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: ZAG’s current contract will expire at the end of the month and the City will not have dedicated technical backup support if an emergency were to occur. In addition,
current and future projects will continually be pushed back and delayed due to limited IT resources. 43

BY: Kristin Borel DIRECTOR: John Cherbone Public Works Analyst SUBJECT: Motor Vehicle (MV) Resolution authorizing No Parking RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Move to adopt the Motor Vehicle Resolution
authorizing No Parking on Bankmill Road REPORT SUMMARY: The City received a request from a resident to restrict parking at the corner of Bankmill Road where it meets Stoneridge Drive.
Cars turning left onto Bankmill from northbound Stoneridge Drivers have poor visibility of opposing traffic traveling down Bankmill and little room to navigate around cars parked at
or near the corner. The request is to prohibit parking in this area at all times. This item was brought before the Traffic Safety Commission at the September 10, 2009 meeting. It was
reviewed by the Traffic Engineer and recommended by the Commission that parking be restricted for 80 feet due to the lack of visibility and potential safety hazard. It is therefore recommended
that parking on both sides of Bankmill Road be designated as “No Parking Anytime”. In order to enforce the new parking restriction on Bankmill Road, it is necessary that the attached
Motor Vehicle Resolution be adopted by City Council. FISCAL IMPACTS: Approximately $250 in labor and materials is required for the City to post signs. These improvements are paid through
the CIP which has a fund devoted to Traffic Safety. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The MV Resolution would not be adopted and parking conditions would continue as
is. ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): None. 45
Page 2 of 2 FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): The signs will be posted and the Sheriff’s Office will be notified of the new restrictions. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Nothing additional

! ! ! "#$ % & "' ( MEMORANDUM Date: October 14, 2009 To: John Cherbone, Public Works Director, City of Saratoga From: Franziska Church/Sohrab Rashid Subject: Review of On-Street Parking
on Bank Mill Road at Stoneridge Drive Intersection, Saratoga, California 1025-446-1 Fehr & Peers has completed an evaluation of traffic concerns on Bank Mill Road at its intersection
with Stoneridge Drive in Saratoga, California. During the September 10, 2009, Saratoga Traffic Safety Commission (TSC) meeting, a resident requested that parking be prohibited on Bank
Mill Road near the Stoneridge Drive intersection. After review of the item and input from the resident and Fehr & Peers, the TSC recommended prohibiting parking on both the north and
south side of Bank Mill Road for 80 feet west of Stoneridge Drive (i.e. to the first driveway on the north side of Bank Mill Road). This memorandum addresses parking concerns on Bank
Mill Road and our recommendation for parking restrictions. Bank Mill Road forms a “T” intersection with Stoneridge Drive, where Bank Mill Road is the west leg of the intersection and
Stoneridge Drive represents the north and south legs. Bank Mill Road is an east-west, two-lane local roadway linking Toll Gate Road to Stoneridge Drive. At the Stoneridge Drive intersection,
Bank Mill Road is approximately 24 feet wide with one-foot rolled curbs and gutters on each side (for a total of 26 feet of width). Stoneridge Drive is a north-south, two-lane local
roadway that forms the western border of the Saratoga Oaks residential community. Currently, no parking restrictions exist on Bank Mill Road. Vehicles can park along the curb on the
north and south side of the roadway. The concern raised at the September 2009 TSC meeting is that vehicles park on the north side of Bank Mill Road near the Stoneridge Drive intersection
and effectively narrow the traveled way;, this forces vehicles turning from Stoneridge Drive onto Bank Mill Road to encroach into the opposing traveled way and could result in vehicle
conflicts. Fehr Fehr & Peers conducted field observations at the Bank Mill Road/Stoneridge Drive intersection in September 2009. The field visit showed that with vehicles parked on the
north side and occupying up to eight (8) feet of width, only 16 feet of pavement is available for two-way vehicular travel on Bank Mill Road. As shown on Figure 1 on the following page,
the remaining 14 feet width on Bank Mill Road is not sufficient to accommodate two-way travel and westbound vehicles travel in the oncoming travel lane. Compounding the issue is that
Bank Mill Road is not a straight and flat roadway. Traveling westbound at the Stoneridge Drive intersection, Bank Mill Road has an incline and a slight curvature in the roadway (see
Figure 1 on following page). These two elements limit visibility of westbound vehicles to see oncoming traffic when turning from Stoneridge Drive. Based on the filed observations, Fehr
& Peers presented three alternative recommendations to prohibit parking on the north and south side of Bank Mill Road Road for 80 feet from the Stoneridge Drive intersection: 47 FE H

John Cherbone October 14, 2009 Page 2 of 2 · Installation of “No Parking” signs · Painting curbs red · Painting a center line on Bank Mill Road at the Stoneridge Drive intersection approach.
Each of these recommendations presented above would eliminate on-street parking on Bank Mill Road for the first 80 feet at the Stoneridge Drive intersection. Signage would most clearly
prohibit parking, since the signs would be clearly visible. Painting the existing rolled curbs red might not be visible to all drivers, especially as foliage accumulates in the gutters.
Painted center lines indirectly prohibits parking, since based on the California Vehicle Code (22500), vehicles are not permitted to park on-street where doing so would force drivers
to travel across the painted center line. Not all drivers are necessarily aware of this law and might continue to park on Bank Mill Road without further notification. Figure 1: Parked
Vehicles on Bank Mill Road Forcing Westbound Vehicles Into Oncoming Travel Lane (at Stoneridge Drive Looking Westbound) After deliberation and input from the resident and Fehr & Peers,
the TSC recommended that the City paint a double yellow centerline on Bank Mill Road for approximately 80 feet (not to exceed the first driveway on the north side) from the Stoneridge
Drive intersection and that the City install two “No Parking” sings each on the north and south side of Bank Mill Road. 48 F EH" & P EERS 1l " I~orl " 'O " coos.,t .. 'S

1 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 21, 2009 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Recreation & Facilities CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Claudia Cauthorn, Interim Recreation
& Facilities Director DIRECTOR: Claudia Cauthorn SUBJECT: Public Hearing Amending Fee Schedule (Resolution 09-019) to Include Kevin Moran Park. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Hold a public hearing
to review recommendations for proposed fee changes for Kevin Moran Park, provide direction, and approve a resolution amending the City’s Fee Schedule effective for Fiscal Year 2009/10.
REPORT SUMMARY: The City Council annually holds a public hearing to review fee recommendations and to provide the community the opportunity for input on proposed changes to the City’s
Fee Schedule per California Government Code Section 66018: Prior to adopting an ordinance, resolution, or other legislative enactment adopting a new fee or approving an increase in an
existing fee to which this section applies, a local agency shall hold a public hearing, at which oral oral or written presentations can be made, as part of a regularly scheduled meeting.
After holding the public hearing the Council will consider adopting a resolution which approves changes to the FY 2009/10 Fee Schedule (Resolution 09-019). Upon Council approval of the
proposed fee schedule and adoption of the “Resolution Establishing a Schedule of Fees to Include Kevin Moran Park”, staff will publish the FY 2009/10 Fee Schedule to be effective November
1, 2009. With the recent completion of Kevin Moran Park, a few adjustments need to be made to existing facility fee schedule to include use fees for Kevin Moran Park. This recommendation
is based on a review of current fees and on requests from staff and users. The proposed fee is based on actual costs and on fees for comparable facilities. 51
2 DISCUSSION: Now that Kevin Moran Park is complete, a fee schedule for use of that park needs to be adopted. Staff recommends that the fees be consistent with fees charged for other
City of Saratoga parks. The proposed fee schedule listed below is consistent with the fees charged at El Quito, Wildwood and other City parks. The Parks and Recreation Commission considered
this item at their regular meeting on September 8, 2009 and unanimously endorsed the staff recommendation for the park fees (see table). PARK & FACILITY RENTAL FEES FY2009/10 Kevin Moran
Park Resident Non-resident Picnic Area (2) -no Barbeque $35/day/area $50/day/area Bocce Courts (2) $10/hour/court $15/hour/court Tennis Court (1) $10/hour $25/hour RECOMMENDATION: Staff
recommends that the City Council adopt the fees for use of Kevin Moran Park as presented. FISCAL IMPACTS: Staff has reviewed current fees and associated expenditures, and concluded that
the proposed revisions to the Fee Schedule are necessary for the City to maintain its approach toward a cost recovery position for provided services. The recommended fees are consistent
with the fees charged for similar facilities owned and operated by the City. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Take no action at this time, but incorporate these fees during the next annual fee review
scheduled for spring 2010. FOLLOWUP ACTION: Give direction to staff for fee changes. Publish the updated fee schedule on the City website and make it available to the public. Staff will
update the current Fee Schedule for FY 2009/10, to be effective November 1st, 2009. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Parks & Recreation meeting noticed on September 3, 2009,

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 21, 2009 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Finance & Administrative Services CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Mary Furey DIRECTOR: Mary Furey
SUBJECT: Proposition 1A Securitization Program RECOMMENDED ACTION: Review Prop 1A Securitization program option, adopt resolution, and approve purchase and sale agreement to participate
in the securitization program. REPORT SUMMARY: Proposition 1A Parameters Under Proposition 1A of 2004, the Legislature is prohibited from reducing the share of property taxes from cities,
counties, and special districts to schools and other non-local government functions. However, the Legislature may alter the allocation of property taxes if: 1. The Governor issues a
proclamation of “severe fiscal hardship” 2. The Legislature enacts an urgency statute suspending Proposition 1A property tax protection with 2/3 vote of each house; and 3. The Legislature
enacts a law providing for full repayment of the “borrowed funds” plus interest within three years. As part of the State of California’s 2009/10 budget adoption package all three of
the above conditions were met thereby allowing the State to borrow of up to 8% in property tax monies (approximately $1.9 billion statewide). Each local agency’s amount is based on their
total ad valorem property tax revenue, which includes the amounts transferred to Property Tax revenues for the VLF Swap and the Triple Flip. The borrowed tax revenues will be shifted
to fund schools and non-local government programs that would otherwise be funded from the State’s General Fund. Under Proposition 1A, borrowed funds must be repaid with interest, within
three years – meaning repayment would likely be in June, 2013. Fiscal Impacts For the City of Saratoga, this borrowing will impact the General Fund as well as seven Landscape & Lighting
District Funds that receive property tax monies, as shown in the following table provided by Santa Clara County’s Controller-Treasurer Office: 55
City of Saratoga $ 659,696 Azule L&L 2,031 Saratoga Village L&L 4,855 Quito L&L 4,317 Village Parking L&L 3,023 Greenbriar L&L 473 Manor Drive L&L 326 Fredericksburg L&L 57 TOTAL of
estimates $ 674,778 Proposition 1A Loan Estimates Securitization Program In conjunction with the budget passage, a provision called “Proposition 1A Securitization” was approved which
created an option for local agency relief from the financial burden created by the forced property tax borrowing. This provision authorizes cities, counties, and special districts to
sell their State repayment obligations to the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (California Communities), a joint powers authority (JPA) sponsored by the League
of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties. Local agencies have the option of participating in the securitization program and receiving 100% of their share
of property tax allocation in the current year, or waiting until the State pays the funds back, with accrued interest. Under the securitization program, California Communities will issue
bonds and remit the cash proceeds to participating local public agencies on approximately January 15, 2010 and May 1, 2010, in coordination with the dates agencies normally receive property
tax payments. Legislation requires that local agencies participating in the securitization program receive 100% of their Proposition 1A receivables; there are no fees or costs or discount
penalties to cities, counties, and special districts for receiving property tax securitization funding. On September 25, 2009, the State’s Department of Finance established an interest
rate of 2% at which the state will repay local governments that do not assign their Proposition 1A receivables to the California Communities JPA. For the City’s General Fund share, this
interest earning from the State will equate to approximately $13,194 per year, and from $1 to $97 dollars per year for the seven Landscape & Lighting Districts each year – for an estimated
total of $13,500 per year. These earning however, are offset by the loss of interest that would be earned from LAIF as the City will either use funds that are currently invested in LAIF
for operational expenses, or the property tax funds received from California Communities that would be invested in LAIF until used for operations. At this point in time, LAIF earnings
have dropped to an historic low (since it began in 1977) of about .90% for the quarter. While it is likely that interest rates will be slow to increase over the next three years, it
is unlikely that rates will stay at these historic low rates for the next three years given the investment expertise in the LAIF agency. The interest earned by holding the receivable
therefore is expected to decrease from the net of the State’s 2% interest rate less the LAIF interest rate, with a potential to become negative -depending on when LAIF rates exceed a
2% return on investments. 56
Additional concerns to consider are that although the City Council was proactive in planning for the Proposition 1A suspension with the authorization to utilize the Economic Uncertainty
Reserve funds to offset the State’s property tax borrowing, the use of the reserve would reduce Council’s flexibility for the next three years, and potentially longer if the State is
not prompt in repaying the loan. From an accounting perspective, if the City participates in the program, we would be selling the receivable and therefore would book the funding as property
tax revenues in the current year. If the City does not participate, we could not book the revenue under modified-accounting rules (as it is a long-term receivable), which will skew the
financial records for years to come. And on a political level, Santa Clara County staff is strongly encouraging all cities to participate in the securitization program as it sends a
clear message to the State and residents that property tax funding is essential to local governments in order to maintain operations. At this point, staff from Santa Clara County and
most if not all of the cities will recommend participation in the securitization program, and are awaiting Board or Council approval. Program Participation To participate in the Proposition
1A Securitization program, local agencies are required to approve a Council resolution (Attachment A) authorizing the sale of the Proposition 1A receivables to California Communities
by the end of October, 2009, and to approve and sign the Purchase and Sale Agreement (Attachment B). A synopsis from California Communities of the two documents is also attached (Attachment
C). Because of the need to maintain the uniformity of documents among all participating local agencies, the Proposition 1A Securitization Program requires that the documents be approved
exactly in the form provided without any modifications. The documents were reviewed by legal counsel on behalf of the League of Cities and while the City cannot rely on that review as
any any sort of guarantee, that review plus the fact that California Communities was created by and for local governments, and the number of local governments participating in the program
all work to limit the risks to the City. Signed documents must be received by the bonding agent by November 6, 2009. FISCAL IMPACTS: · If Council approves participation in the Proposition
1A Securitization Program, Property Tax revenues will be assigned and subsequently received in a timely manner · If Council does not approve participation in the Proposition 1A Securitization
Program, property tax revenues will not be received in the current year, and the Economic Uncertainty Reserve will be utilized to provide funding for operations. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT
FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City of Saratoga will not participate in the Proposition 1A Securitization Program ALTERNATIVE ACTION: N/A 57
FOLLOW UP ACTION: If Council approves resolution to participate in the Proposition 1A Securitization Program, staff will complete paperwork to enroll in the program. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment

or instrument to which it is a party. (d) To the best of the knowledge of the Purchaser, no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any

to restrain or to enjoin the purchase of the Proposition 1A Receivable or to direct the application of the proceeds of the purchase thereof, or in any way contesting or affecting the
validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or any other applicable agreements or any action of the Purchaser contemplated by any of said documents, or in any way
contesting the powers of the Purchaser or its authority with respect to the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or any other applicable agreement, or any action on the part
of the Purchaser contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or in any way seeking to enjoin or restrain the Purchaser from purchasing the Proposition 1A Receivable or which if determined
adversely to the Purchaser would have an adverse effect upon the Purchaser’s ability to purchase the Proposition 1A Receivable, nor to the knowledge of the Purchaser is there any basis
therefor. (e) This Agreement, and its execution, delivery and performance hereof have been duly authorized by it, and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes

of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and any other applicable agreements, have been obtained and are in full force and effect. (h) Insofar as it

the State of California or the United States or any applicable judgment or decree or any loan agreement, indenture, bond, note, resolution, agreement or other instrument to which it
is a party or to which it or any of its property or assets is otherwise subject, and, to the best of the knowledge of the Purchaser, no event has occurred and is continuing which with
the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default or an event of default under any such instrument, and the execution and delivery by the Purchaser of
the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and compliance by the Purchaser with the provisions thereof, under the circumstances contemplated thereby, do not and will not conflict
with or constitute on the part of the Purchaser a breach of or default under any agreement or other instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound or any existing
law, regulation, court order or consent decree to which the Purchaser is subject. 5. Representations and Warranties of the Seller. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser,

or affecting creditors’ rights generally or the application of equitable principles in any proceeding, whether at law or in equity. (d) All approvals, consents, authorizations, elections
and orders of or filings or registrations with any governmental authority, board, agency or commission having jurisdiction which would constitute a condition precedent to, or the absence
of which would adversely affect, the sale by the Seller of the Proposition 1A Receivable or the performance by the Seller of its 70
6 obligations under the Resolution and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and any other applicable agreements, have been obtained and are in full force and effect. (e)
Insofar as it would materially adversely affect the Seller’s ability to enter into, carry out and perform its obligations under any or all of the Transaction Documents to which it is
a party, or consummate the transactions contemplated by the same, the Seller is not in breach of or default under any applicable constitutional provision, law or administrative regulation

or the titles of its City Council members or officers to their respective offices, or seeking to restrain or to enjoin the sale of the Proposition 1A Receivable or to direct the application
of the proceeds of the sale thereof, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or any other applicable agreements or any

on behalf of the Purchaser by the State with respect to the Proposition 1A Receivable will be in excess of the Purchase Price and the Initial Amount of the Proposition 1A Receivable
and confirms that it has no claim to any such excess amount whatsoever. (m) The Seller does not act as an agent of the Purchaser in any capacity, but instead presents itself to the public
as an entity separate from the Purchaser. (n) The Seller has not guaranteed and shall not guarantee the obligations of the Purchaser, nor shall it hold itself out or permit itself to
be held out as having agreed to pay or as being liable for the debts of the Purchaser; and the Seller has not received nor shall the Seller accept any credit or financing from any Person

action that would impair the validity or effectiveness of the Act, nor, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser or its assignees, agree to any amendment, modification, termination,
waiver or surrender of, the terms of the Act, or waive timely performance or observance under the Act. Nothing in this agreement shall impose a duty on the Seller to seek to enforce
the Act or to seek enforcement thereof by others, or to prevent others from modifying, terminating, discharging or impairing the validity or effectiveness of the Act. (c) Upon request
of the Purchaser or its assignee, (i) the Seller shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts (including being named as a plaintiff in an appropriate proceeding)

to the Trustee. Such notice and instructions shall be in the form of Exhibit D hereto. The Seller shall not take any action to revoke or which would have the effect of revoking, in whole
or in part, such instructions to the Controller. Upon sending such irrevocable instruction, the Seller shall have relinquished and waived any control over the Proposition 1A Receivable,
any authority to collect the Proposition 1A Receivable, and any power to revoke or amend the instructions to the Controller contemplated by this paragraph. Except as provided in Section
2(c) of this Agreement, the Seller shall not rescind, amend or modify the instruction described in the first sentence of this paragraph. The Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser
or its assignee in giving instructions to the Controller if the Purchaser or its assignee transfers the Proposition 1A Receivable. In the event that the Seller receives any proceeds
of the Proposition 1A Receivable, the Seller shall hold the same in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Trustee and each Credit Enhancer, as assignees of the Purchaser, and
shall promptly remit the same to the Trustee. (e) The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time institute against the Purchaser, or join in instituting against
the Purchaser, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, liquidation, or similar proceeding under any United States or state bankruptcy or similar law. (f) The financial
statements and books and records of the Seller prepared after the Closing Date shall reflect the separate existence of the Purchaser and the sale to the Purchaser of the Proposition
1A Receivable. (g) The Seller shall treat the sale of the Proposition 1A Receivable as a sale for regulatory and accounting purposes. 73
9 (h) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Seller shall not sell, transfer, assign, set over or otherwise convey any right, title or interest of any kind whatsoever in all
or any portion of the Proposition 1A Receivable, nor shall the Seller create, or to the knowledge of the Seller permit the creation of, any Lien thereon. 7. The Purchaser’s Acknowledgment.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the Proposition 1A Receivable is not a debt or liability of the Seller, and that the Proposition 1A Receivable is payable solely by the State from the
funds of the State provided therefor. Consequently, neither the taxing power of the Seller, nor the full faith and credit thereof is pledged to the payment of the Proposition 1A Receivable.
No representation is made by the Seller concerning the obligation or ability of the State to make any payment of the Proposition 1A Receivable pursuant to Section 100.06 of the Revenue
and Taxation Code and Section 25.5 of Article XIII of the California Constitution, nor is any any representation made with respect to the ability of the State to enact any change in
the law applicable to the Transaction Documents (including without limitation Section 100.06 of the Revenue and Taxation Code or Section 6588.6 of the Government Code). The Purchaser
acknowledges that the Seller has no obligation with respect to any offering document or disclosure related to the Bonds. 8. Notices of Breach. (a) Upon discovery by the Seller or the
Purchaser that the Seller or Purchaser has breached any of its covenants or that any of the representations or warranties of the Seller or the Purchaser are materially false or misleading,
in a manner that materially and adversely affects the value of the Proposition 1A Receivable or the Purchase Price thereof, the discovering party shall give prompt written notice thereof
to the other party and to the Trustee, as assignee of the Purchaser, who shall, pursuant to the Indenture, promptly thereafter notify each Credit Enhancer and the Rating Agencies. (b)
The Seller shall not be liable to the Purchaser, the Trustee, the holders of the Bonds, or any Credit Enhancer for any loss, cost or expense resulting from the failure of the Trustee,
any Credit Enhancer or the Purchaser to promptly notify the Seller upon the discovery by an authorized officer of the Trustee, any Credit Enhancer or the Purchaser of a breach of any
covenant or any materially false or misleading representation or warranty contained herein. 9. Liability of Seller; Indemnification. The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith

and liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon any such Person by the Seller’s breach of any of its covenants
contained herein or any materially false or misleading representation or warranty of the Seller contained herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller shall have
no liability for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds issued by the Purchaser. 74

and covenants, and further agrees that such Persons are entitled so to rely thereon. Each of the above representations, warranties and covenants shall survive any assignment and grant
of a security interest in all or a portion of this Agreement or the Proposition 1A Receivable to the Trustee and each Credit Enhancer and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding
any subsequent termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The above representations, warranties and covenants shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee and each
Credit Enhancer. 12. Notices. All demands upon or, notices and communications to, the Seller, the Purchaser, the Trustee or the Rating Agencies under this Agreement shall be in writing,

B1-1 EXHIBIT B1 OPINION OF COUNSEL to CITY OF SARATOGA Dated: Pricing Date California Statewide Communities Development Authority Sacramento, California Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
Los Angeles, California Re: Sale of Proposition 1A Receivable Ladies & Gentlemen: [I have/This Office has] acted as counsel for the City of Saratoga (the “Seller”) in connection with
the adoption of that certain resolution (the “Resolution”) of the City Council of the Seller (the “Governing Body”) pursuant to which the Seller authorized the sale to the California
Statewide Communities Development Authority (the “Purchaser”) of the Seller’s “Proposition 1A Receivable”, as defined in and pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of November
1, 2009 (the “Sale Agreement”) between the Seller and the Purchaser. In connection with these transactions, the Seller has issued certain Irrevocable Instructions For Disbursement of
the Seller’s Proposition 1A Receivable to the Controller of the State of California (the “Disbursement Instructions”) and a Bill of Sale and Bringdown Certificate of the Seller (the
“Bill of Sale” and, collectively with the Sale Agreement and the Disbursement Instructions, the “Seller Documents”). Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used but
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Sale Agreement. [I/We] have examined and are familiar with the Seller Documents and with those documents
relating to the existence, organization, and operation of the Seller, the adoption of the Resolution, and the execution of the Seller Documents, and have satisfied ourselves as to such
other matters as [I/we] deem necessary in order to render the following opinions. As to paragraphs numbered 3 and 4 below, [I/we] have relied as to factual matters on the representations
and warranties of the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement. Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth herein, [I/we] are of the opinion
that: 80
B1-2 1. The Seller is a local agency, within the meaning of Section 6585(f) of the California Government Code. The Governing Body is the governing body of the Seller. 2. The Resolution
was duly adopted at a meeting of the Governing Body, which was called and held pursuant to law and with all public notice required by law, and at which a quorum was present and acting
throughout, and the Resolution is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or rescinded since the date of its adoption. 3. To the best of [my/our] knowledge, no action,
suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, public board or body, is pending or threatened in any way against the Seller (i) affecting the
existence of the Seller or the titles of its Governing Body members or officers to their respective offices; (ii) seeking to restrain or to enjoin the sale of the Proposition 1A Receivable
or to direct the application of the proceeds of the sale thereof, or materially adversely affecting the sale of the Proposition 1A Receivable; (iii) in any way contesting or affecting
the validity or enforceability of the Resolution, Seller Documents or any other applicable agreements or any action of the Seller contemplated by any of said documents; or (iv) in any
way contesting the powers of the Seller or its authority with respect to the Resolution or the Seller Documents or any other applicable agreement, or any action on the part of the Seller
contemplated by any of said documents. 4. To the best of [my/our] knowledge, prior to the sale of the Proposition 1A Receivable to the Purchaser, the Seller had not sold, transferred,
assigned, set over or otherwise conveyed any right, title or interest of any kind whatsoever in all or any portion of the Seller’s Proposition 1A Receivable, nor had the Seller created,
or permitted the creation of, any Lien thereon. 5. The Seller has duly authorized and executed the Seller Documents and, assuming the due authorization execution and delivery of the
Sale Agreement by the Purchaser, each Seller Document will be legal, valid and binding against the Seller and enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, and the application of equitable principles
and the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate areas. No opinion is expressed concerning the obligation or ability of the State of California to make any payment of the Proposition
1A Receivable pursuant to Section 100.06 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 25.5 of Article XIII of the California Constitution, nor is any opinion expressed with respect to
the ability of the State to enact any change in the law applicable to the Seller Documents (including, without limitation, Section 100.06 of the Revenue and Taxation Code or Section
6588.6 of the Government Code). Furthermore, [I/we] express no opinion as to the value of the Proposition 1A Receivable or as to any legal or equitable remedies that may be available
to any person should the Proposition 1A Receivable have little or no value. No opinion is expressed with respect to the sale of Bonds by the Purchaser. 81

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 21, 2009 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Christopher A. Riordan, AICP DIRECTOR: John
Livingstone, AICP SUBJECT: Initiation of Annexation of an approximately 39,640 (gross) square foot parcel (APN 503-13-138) located at 22215 Mount Eden Road. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff
recommends the City Council approve the attached Resolution thereby initiating the annexation of 22215 Mount Eden Road. REPORT SUMMARY: The applicants, John and Cheryl Keenan, have filed
an application with the City of Saratoga for annexation approval. The applicant’s parcel is located in the County of Santa Clara and is approximately .91 (gross) acres. The vacant property
(hereinafter referred to as ‘the county parcel’) is contiguous with the western limits of the City of Saratoga along Mount Eden Road and is within the City’s Sphere of Influence and
Urban Service Boundaries. The applicant also owns the adjacent 1.9 acre parcel to the West. This This parcel is located in the City of Saratoga and contains a single-family residence
that is the home of the applicant. Access to this parcel is from an easement across the county parcel. The applicant does not have current intentions of developing the property to be
annexed but did concede that future development of the parcel could be possible. The maximum possible home square footage that could be developed on the lot would be 4,986 square feet.
If the property were annexed, a residential development project would be subject to Saratoga’s development standards which control building design, height, floor area, and colors and
materials. If the property were developed in Santa Clara County, the County development standards would apply. These standards would allow the height of a residence to be 35-feet, there
is no limit on floor area ratio, and there is no control on exterior colors or materials. The parcel proposed for annexation conforms to the applicable land use and density criteria
contained in the City Code and the General Plan. The parcel is located in the Hillside Residential (HR) Prezone area. 94
DISCUSSION: Under the City’s Annexation procedure and the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) statutes, this annexation will not be reviewed by LAFCO, require notice, hearing,
or an election because the annexation is being made by a petition with 100 percent consent of the property owner. The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000
(the Act) provides that cities in Santa Clara County may proceed independently of LAFCO in processing annexation applications within the City’s Urban Service Area (Government Code Section
56757). The Act requires, however, that cities follow the procedures used by LAFCO to the extent practicable. The Act establishes a three-part process for annexations: (1) Initiation
of Annexation; (2) Protest Proceedings which may be waived by the City Council; and (3) Approval of Annexation. Initiation of Annexation The Act and other state laws require the preparation
of a number of documents as part of the annexation process. These documents fall into three categories: a service plan, LAFCO materials, and the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) materials. These are described below: Service Plan – All annexations are to begin with a proposed service plan for the area to be annexed. This plan is to include the following:
· A description of the parcel to be annexed; · A list of the organizational changes proposed; (See attached List of Services Report) · The reasons for the proposal; · A listing and description
of the services to be provided to the annexed parcel together with a discussion of the level and range of services to be offered; (See attached List of Services Report); · An indication
of when the services listed can feasibly be extended to the annexed parcel; (See attached List of Services Report); · An indication of any improvement or upgrading of structures, roads,
sewer or water facilities, or other conditions that the City would impose or require on the annexed lands; (No inhabited territory will be annexed as part of this proposal and all services
will be consistent with the current conditions) · Information on how the services to be provided would be financed. (See attached List of Services Report); LAFCO Materials – Cities in
Santa Clara County proceeding independently of LAFCO are required to make the findings listed below before approving an annexation. The formal findings need not be made until the end
of the process. Each finding is followed by a brief description of Staff’s review. · That the unincorporated territory is within the urban service area of the city as adopted by Commission.
Staff had confirmed that the property to be annexed is within the City’s Urban Service Area. · That the County Surveyor has determined the boundaries of the proposal to be definite and
certain, and in compliance with LAFCO’s road annexation policies. The City will be providing a map prepared by the applicant to the County Surveyor once initiation of annexation has
been approved by the City Council. 95
· That the proposal does not split lines of assessment or ownership. Staff has determined that the property to be annexed does not split lines of assessment or ownership. · That the
proposal does not create islands or areas in which it would be difficult to provide municipal services. Staff has reviewed the geography of the proposed annexation and concluded that
it would not create an island or present difficulties in providing municipal services since the majority of the services will remain unchanged. · That the proposal is consistent with
the adopted General Plan of the City. This land use designation for the lands to be annexed is RHC (Residential Hillside Conservation). The land has been pre-zoned HR (Hillside Residential)
which is consistent with the General Plan Designation and the surrounding zoning. The General Plan provides that lands in the hillsides should be considered for annexation if they meet
the following General Plan Policy: Policy LU 14 – Land shall not be annexed to Saratoga unless it is contiguous to the existing city limits, within the Sphere of Influence, and it is
determined by the city that public services can be provided without unreasonable cost to the City and dilution of services to existing residents. Protest Proceedings and Annexation Approval
Since the annexation is initiated by a request (application) for annexation by the property owner, with 100% consent by the property owner, the City is required to prepare an Initiation
of Annexation for review by the City Council. A public meeting is not necessary and the City Council may consider the Initiation of Annexation as a routine agenda item at a regular meeting
and may waive protest proceedings. The City Council is required to make findings pursuant to Government Code Section 56757 prior to adopting the resolution approving the annexation.
After the resolution is adopted a certified copy of the resolution and paperwork is submitted to LAFCO. California Environmental Quality Act Annexations are projects subject to the environmental
review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff has determined that the annexation would be exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Section 15319 of the CEQA
Guidelines. That section provides that annexations are categorically exempt from CEQA review if they do not exceed the minimum size for facilities exempted by Section 15303 (that section
limits exemptions to up to three singlefamily residences in an urbanized area). Staff has determined that findings can be made to support the Categorical Exemption of the proposed annexation
of property located at 22215 Mount Eden Road (APN 503-13-138) into the City of Saratoga in that the annexation is for less than three single in an urbanized area. There is no subdivision
potential and the proposed annexation does not involves or change the standards for extension of utility services to the parcel. FISCAL IMPACTS: 96
No impact. The applicant is responsible for all City review fees and County of Santa Clara processing fees. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: Future single-family home
development on the parcel would be subject to requirements of Santa Clara County in lieu of City of Saratoga development standards. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Deny the proposed resolution initiating
annexation and provide Staff with direction. FOLLOW UP ACTION: At the direction of Council, Staff will proceed with the annexation approval procedure. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC

1 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 21, 2009 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Recreation & Facilities CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Claudia Cauthorn, Interim Recreation
& Facilities Director DIRECTOR: Claudia Cauthorn SUBJECT: Adopt a Facility Use Policy for the North Campus. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Amend the existing building policies to include hours
of use for the North Campus site. REPORT SUMMARY: With the impending completion of the renovations at the North Campus Fellowship Hall, a few adjustments need to be made to existing
facility use policies. In order to craft an effective policy that will meet the needs of both the City and the surrounding neighbors of the North Campus site, a community engagement
process was initiated to gain insight as to the issues that will arise with the commencement of activities at this location. A meeting announcement (Attachment 1) was sent to all residents
within a 300 foot radius of the North Campus site as well as to known interested parties on August 25, 2009. The announcement was also posted on the City’s website and a news release
was sent to the Saratoga Weekly. The community meeting took place on Tuesday, September 1, 2009 at 6:00 P.M. in the Administration Wing (fireside room) of the North Campus. Sixteen persons
were in attendance as well as four staff members. Staff initiated the meeting by thanking the residents for coming to help construct a use policy that will meet the needs of all parties.
The constraints on crafting this policy are that given the City’s financial situation, the North Campus has been looked to as a revenue source and yet due to its’ proximity to the surrounding
neighborhood these uses may need to be limited to mitigate traffic and noise issues that will affect the residents. A lively and very helpful discussion ensued with the primary concerns
of late night hours and noise generated from evening uses voiced by residents. The issue of the Taiko drummers practicing at the site was discussed and staff has indicated that this
group will relocate to the Administration building once the Fellowship Hall is open and the current occupant in the Administration Building (an aerobics class) will move to the Fellowship
Hall. Other issues discussed at the neighborhood meeting were keeping the doors and 104
2 windows closed during events to prevent noise from leaking out to the neighborhood and enacting a smoking ban at the site so users would not be inclined to go outside and socialize
while smoking (hence creating extra noise). The neighbors were not in favor of outside activities due to the potential for noise generated by them. City staff has placed “Quite Zone”
signs in and around the parking lot to remind users to be respectful of the neighbors. Neighbors also suggested that a “hot line” be set up where residents could call for assistance
if an event becomes disruptive. The neighbors questioned if there were enough parking spaces to accommodate users and expressed concern that the overflow parking might intrude into the
neighborhood. The neighborhood group consensus was that activities should begin no earlier than 8:00 A.M. daily and cease by 9:00 P.M. on weeknights (Sunday through Thursday) and by
10:00 P.M. on weekends (Friday and Saturday). This means that the event organizers must be cleaned up and all attendees gone from the premises by the times indicated. For a reception
or party, this would mean the event would need to end at least 1 hour earlier to assure all guests and vehicles had left the premises by the stated end time. This sentiment is reflected
in Alternative E. The Parks and Recreation Commission considered this issue at their regular meeting on September 8, 2009. A lengthy discussion on the use for the North Campus ensued
among approximately 10 neighbors and a number of facility users on the issue of operating times. In a 4 to 1 vote, with Commissioner Bruno opposing, the Commission decided to recommend
to Council that a facility use policy for the North Campus site include the following elements: · Users/renters would be required to vacate the premises (including the parking area)
by 10 P.M. to include weeknight and weekends. This is expressed in Alternative C. · Outdoor activities would be allowed, but must end by sunset (same hours as park facilities) with no
amplified sound allowed. Additionally the Commission recommended that the policy be reviewed in six months to evaluate its’ effectiveness and that sound mitigation opportunities be explored.
DISCUSSION: A good number of the requests currently received for rental uses at the Joan Pisani Community Center well exceed the limitations defined by the residents and the Parks &
Recreation Commission. As an example, for the period of January 1 through June 30, 2009, fifty-nine rental uses were booked. Thirty-two of these rentals ended after 10:00 P.M. most of
which ended at midnight or later. We recently received a call (on 9/2/09) from the Saratoga Rotary Club wishing to have a special event at the Fellowship Hall with an end time of 10:00
P.M. on a Monday night in November. Since there has not been resolution as to the hours of use at the Fellowship Hall, they have decided they will host their event at some other location.
We also received an inquiry on 9/8/09 from the YMCA wishing to have a Father/Daughter dance there, but the restricted end time of 9:00 or 10:00 P.M. would not work for their event. We
also have a standing request for the Fellowship Hall for the month of Ramadan with activities ceasing at 11 P.M. If the closing time is restricted, we will lose the revenue from this
use unless we can find an alternate location for them. The opportunity cost for the loss of these events is roughly $4,400. Staff is concerned that limiting the ending time for operations
to 10:00 P.M. (including the 1 hour needed for clean up, loading and evacuating the parking lot) will result in significantly fewer uses at the North Campus than needed to cover operating
expenses. 105
3 A good comparison facility is the Foothill Club as it is also located within a residential neighborhood. All events held there have an end time of 10:00 P.M. regardless of day of the
week. This policy is based on a Santa Clara County noise ordinance. Cleanup is allowed up to 11:00, but guests must depart and all music is over at 10:00 P.M. The cleanup is only for
the people cleaning up after the party, gathering personal items, and cleaning and putting away all tables and chairs. Similarly the Brookside Club has a closing time 11 P.M. with no
restriction on clean up time. Alternative A is crafted similar to the Foothill Club & Brookside Club’s policies. RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests that the City Council evaluate the findings
generated from the community meeting; consider the Parks and Recreation Commission’s recommendation on the North Campus operating policy, and City staff’s recommendation for the use
of the North Campus. For the greatest flexibility for rental use and to maintain sensitivity to the need of the surrounding residents, staff recommends Alternative D. FISCAL IMPACTS:
Fiscal impacts will vary depending on which alternative is adopted. As this is a new facility, the demand for use is difficult to determine; however a less restrictive use policy for
hours of operation will likely generate a greater demand for this facility and hence greater overall revenues to the City. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: · Alternate A: Adopt a policy that allows
use at the North Campus from 8:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. (inclusive of clean up and parking lot cleared) daily. · Alternate B:
Adopt a policy that allows use at the North Campus from 8:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Sunday through Thursday (inclusive of clean up and parking lot cleared) and from 8:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M.
Fridays and Saturdays (inclusive of clean up and parking lot cleared). · Alternate C: Adopt a policy that allows use at the North Campus from 8:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. (inclusive of clean
up and parking lot cleared – meaning uses must end prior to 10 P.M.) daily. · Alternate D: Adopt a policy that allows use of the North Campus from 8 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. daily (exclusive
of clean up – can occur after 10 P.M., but guests must leave by 10:00 P.M.). · Alternate E: Adopt a policy that allows use at the North Campus from 8:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. Sunday through
Thursday and from 8:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Fridays and Saturdays (inclusive of clean up and parking lot cleared). · Alternate F: Grandfather existing uses. (This alternative could be
used in combination with one of the alternatives above.) Allow existing users of the North Campus to maintain the hours of their current indoor uses at a North Campus location specified
by the City on the condition that they lose this privilege if either (1) the use ceases for more than one year, (2) they exceed the hours of their current use two or more times, or (3)
the City Council concludes after a noticed public hearing that facts and circumstances have changed such that allowing the extend hours of use 106
4 is no longer in the public interest. The term "indoor uses" also includes use of the outdoor parking area but only for parking by participants in the indoor use. · Alternate G: (This
alternative could be used in combination with Alternates A through E.) When use requests exceed the approved hours of operation for the North Campus, move those uses to the Joan Pisani
Community Center (JPCC) when possible. As the JPCC is already frequently scheduled on a regular basis for recurring classes and events, those regular uses would need to be accommodated
at the North Campus, cancelled, or the North Campus use denied. It should be noted that on weekends, the JPCC is almost always booked for private parties. Revenue generated from these
uses averages $1344 per use. The month-long evening use at the North Campus generated $3,200 for this past year. For the same period, the JPCC generated $6,720 in rental income. FOLLOWUP
ACTION: Give direction to staff for policy and fee changes. Publish the policy on website and make it available to the public. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Public meeting

Saratoga North Campus Background TheWest Valley Muslim Association (WVMA) is a non-profit, religious organization located at 12370 Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road, Saratoga CA in the Azule Crossing
shopping center. There are about 200 Muslim families served by WVMA. The organization holds regular prayers, the Friday afternoon congregational prayer, and holds nightly prayers (called
Taraweeh prayers) during the month of Ramadan (month of fasting), and celebrates the two Eid festivals to commemorate the end of Ramadan and the Hajj. The Ramadan nightly prayers are
offered every night during the month of Ramadan. These daily prayers have a specific time – they have to be started about an hour and a half after sunset. They last for about 2 hours.
The month of Ramadan is based on the lunar calendar, and it moves 11 days forward every calendar year. So in 2009, it started from August 20th, and in 2010 it is expected to start around
August 9th. During the years when Ramadan falls in summer and the sunset is around 7:45 PM, PM, the nightly prayers start around 9:15 PM and end around 11:15 PM (parking lot empty by
11:30 PM). In a few years, Ramadan will occur in winter months, so the service can start and end much earlier. North Campus Proposal WVMA empathizes with the North Campus neighbors on
the issue of the sound. We are not opposed to the restrictions requested by the neighbors, but we would also like the neighbors to allow us to use the facility with a clear understanding
that we will not misuse this privilege. In a joint meeting on October 12, 2009 with some of the North Campus neighbors and the WVMA representatives, the following proposal was made:
· WVMA will support the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission of a general limitation of 10 PM on weekdays and weekends. · North Campus Neighbors will allow WVMA to use
the facility during Ramadan till 11:30 PM as an exception to the general limitation. WVMA will make “best efforts” not to inconvenience neighbors during the monthly rental including,
but not limited to: · Parking outside as much as possible and use parking farther away from fences. · Monitor and enforce peace and quiet. Since we may not be able to write an exception
for one organization, we may have to come up with slightly more general terms in discussion with the City Attorney, such as: 1. Grandfather previous renters. 2. Exceptions allowed for
Saratoga based non-profits only. 3. Exceptions allowed for Saratoga based non-profits that rent for more than at least one week of rental. Next Steps 1. WVMA to approach city attorney
through one of the city council members and see if an exception can be included in the approved usage rules. Coordinate with the North Campus neighbors once we learn about the various
options. 2. North Campus neighbors to discuss with the larger group of neighbors to see if this proposal is acceptable. 3. Regroup over the coming weekend. 109
From: Chuck Page Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 3:55 PM To: Margot Johnson Cc: City Clerk [Ann Sullivan]; Dave Anderson; Claudia Cauthorn Subject: RE: N Campus Late Closing Concern
Thank you, Margot. I really appreciate your input, and can assure you that all concerns will be considered to the utmost degree when the hours are defined for the North Campus. Thank
you, Chuck Page Mayor City of Saratoga 13777 Fruitvale Ave Saratoga, CA 95070 (408) 257-9334 office From: Margot Johnson [mailto:margot@covad.net] Sent: Wed 10/14/2009 11:08 AM To: Chuck
Page; City Clerk [Ann Sullivan]; Dave Anderson Subject: N Campus Late Closing Concern Dear Chuck: Thank you for hearing the neighbors concerns about the late night use of the North Campus.
We are concerned about the noise from the campus as the fence between us provides a sight barrier only and the noise is essentially in our own backyards. There is president for limiting
the hours of use of the facility to facility getting everyone out of the parking lot by 9:30pm. The prior owners of the property, Grace Methodist Church, agreed to and abided by this
time limit. The various other groups who rented rooms from the church generally ended their meetings by 9:15, and were generally out by 9:30. Nevertheless, their are always stragglers,
and their conversations, car doors closing, and engines starting bothered us, especially in Summer as we needed to keep the windows open to manage the heat. While we respect the prayer
traditions of the West Valley Muslim Association (WVMA), the North Campus is part of the neighborhood, and we expect them and any other groups using the facility to extend the same courtesies
the previous owners did, and the rest of our neighbor's do in a quiet peaceful neighborhood. Thanks again, Margot Johnson Viewridge Drive, Sar 110
Dear Saratoga City Council I am delighted to see that the City of Saratoga’s North Campus is about to reopen the refurbished Fellowship Hall and in addition, to open the grounds of the
facility minus the two old, decrepit buildings. The entire North Campus will be an enhanced asset for Saratoga’s citizens and provide much needed public space for meetings, events and
outdoor park land. More summer programs for our children and more year round programs for our citizens, young and old, will be possible through the Recreation Department, with this added
space. I am concerned, however, to learn that the City is considering too strict rules for when the public can use this public space in the evening. As I understand it, because of the
neighbors’ pressure, the PRC is recommending a 9 pm event closing time for the facilities, even on weekend nights. I am urging you to change the closing time to 10 pm weekdays and weekends.
I have done a quick study of the local competition for rental space. Since other comparable public venues have rules that close their doors later, I believe that both the Fellowship
and Administrative Halls will not be rented, thus depriving citizens of a public space to use and depriving the City of much needed revenue. The citizens voted to save the resource and
the City used public money and donated money to rehab the two buildings and their flat outdoor grassy landscapes. The City needs the money from facility rentals to balance the Recreation
Department’s budget. Besides the local churches which allow events, both church member events and outside rentals, to go later than 9 pm, there are two specific competitors which are
embedded in their own neighborhoods and yet allow events to go past 9 pm. The first, Saratoga Foothill Club, has a closing time of 10 pm for both weekend and weekdays, with the stipulation
that the cleanup is completed by 11 pm. It allows for some amplified sound outside in the garden, with severe limits on it and of course, allows amplified sound inside the building for
the events. The second, Brookside Club of Saratoga, has a closing time of 11pm with no time limit for cleanup. It allows amplified sound only inside the Clubhouse. Rental rates are higher
for non-member events. Besides the above groups, there are more venues in Saratoga which have events that last beyond 9 pm. So I urge you to reconsider the time limits that you are going
to set on the North Campus usage. It would be a shame that after all of the work and time and energy put into the refurbishing of the North Campus, that you would now essentially mothball
the two buildings and allow them to stand empty in the evenings. The City needs the rental money and the citizens need the public venues. Each time the City tries to do something good
for the citizens of Saratoga, the neighbors react with terrible fantasy scenarios of potential horrible noise problems and potential upswings in crime. The fantasy scenarios do not materialize
and a year later, most of the local citizens have changed their minds and begin to like like the new resource. One example, 111
is when the City refurbished Azule Park and put in a second back entrance on Knollwood Dr. The Neighbors did not want the second entrance, because of potential noise in the early morning
and late evenings, and because of potential vandalism. The Council wisely went ahead with the second entrance because it made logical sense with the proviso to revalue the second entrance
one year in the future, just in case. One year later, there had been no problems and the neighborhood was fond of the back entrance. I recommend that you do what is rational with the
North Campus facilities. 1. Have events end by 10 pm with clean up done by 11 pm. 2. Stipulate amplified sound only inside the buildings. 3. Have staff actively work with any rentals
about being sensitive to the neighbors need for quiet out in the parking lot, especially at night. 4. Allow for the potential rental request for a later closing time if the requesting
group is a quiet type (i.e. church or book discussion groups) and if they would park on Prospect Street instead of the parking lot. Thank you for your consideration. Ann Waltonsmith

Public Works Director Public Works Director SUBJECT: Undeveloped City Owned Property RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept report and provide direction to staff. REPORT SUMMARY: There are four
City owned properties, not including trail easements, which are undeveloped in the City. The four properties are as follows (See attached maps showing each property-Attachments 1-4):
1. Property located at the corner of Quito and Pollard Roads The City owns two parcels at this location totaling .66 acres. The parcels were acquired from the County as excess right-of-way
in 1979. Currently the parcels are unimproved except for a pathway along Quito Road which runs from the corner through the site. There are no plans or restrictions for improving this
land. The lower parcel lies within a flood zone. 2. Property located in Saratoga Heights The City owns two parcels at this location totaling 39.4 acres. The parcels were dedicated to
the public in the early 1980’s. Included are trail easements which run through the property. Use of the property is governed by an open space agreement limiting the use of the land to
open space and trail use. Most likely a pedestrian trail will be developed in the future that will ultimately connect to the Fremont Older Open Space area. 3. Spring Hill Court Property
In 1972, an 8,000 sf parcel of land was dedicated to the City for use as a park as part of the development conditions for Tract 5243. The site is encumbered by a Santa Clara Valley Water
District Easement. Access to the property would require a bridge from Springhill Ct. 116
Page 2 of 2 There are no current plans for improving the property. Development of the property would be limited to park improvements. In addition, improvements would need to take into
account the flood zone. 4. Harleigh Drive Access Parcel A 2,260 sf access parcel was acquired as part of Gardner Park in 1965. The access parcel is located approximately 650 feet from
the entrance to the park. The access parcel was originally going to be the entrance to the park until the City acquired the current entrance area off of Portos Drive. There are no plans
or restrictions for improving this land. In 2004, the City entered into an agreement allowing the adjacent property owner to use the property (See attached agreement -Attachment 5).
FISCAL IMPACTS: N/A. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: N/A. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: None in addition to the above. FOLLOW UP ACTION: Depends on direction from City Council.

1 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 21, 2009 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Kate Bear DIRECTOR: John F. Livingstone,
AICP SUBJECT: City Wide Program to plant 2,015 trees in Saratoga by the year 2015 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Direct staff accordingly. DISCUSSION: The Heritage Tree Society of Saratoga is requesting
support from the City Council to create a city wide program to plant 2,015 trees in Saratoga by the year 2015. BACKGROUND: Recently there has been an effort by cities to raise awareness
of global warming and promote the preservation and planting of new trees. Trees are a major factor in the reduction of global warming and often neglected in their contributions. They
take in carbon dioxide to create
food for themselves. They provide oxygen for us to breathe, cool our houses in the summer with their shade, absorb pollutants from traffic, and provide protection for pedestrians between
streets and sidewalks. Two years ago, New York City embarked upon a tree planting mission as a public-private partnership, together with the New York Restoration Project, to plant one
million new trees in 10 years. Earlier this month they celebrated the 25% mark by planting the 250,000th tree with a ceremony. The idea for 2015 by 2015 in Saratoga came in part from
this New York City project. In 2007, the City of Saratoga became a Tree City USA. One of the requirements of being a Tree City is to recognize Arbor Day each year by planting a tree
during an Arbor Day celebration. There is also a requirement to send in a report on the number of trees planted in the City. If approved, the Heritage Tree Society of Saratoga would
initiate the project January 1, 2010, to plant 2,015 trees by December 31, 2015. The project would track new trees planted by residents and the City, with the goal of planting 403 trees
per year for five years. The project would raise awareness of efforts by residents and the City to replace the urban forest. 127
2 The City currently issues approximately 400 tree removal permits a year for trees that are dead, dying, causing damage or threatening damage to structures. The condition of approval
for each permit is to replant a new tree to replace the one removed. This project would track the newly planted trees. Based on this alone the City could meet the goal of 2015 trees
planted by the year 2015. In addition to the above, new residential developments in the City often result in numerous trees being planted. The City Public Works Department plants new
trees each year in parks and along main arterials. Since 2006, the City planted a total of 276 trees. Those trees are tracked and included in a report each year to Tree City USA and
would also contribute to the 2015 trees. Elements of the project would include: 1) The Heritage Tree Society has offered to purchase and install a carved wood sign stating “Saratoga,
Proudly a Tree City USA”. They would like to install the sign on Saratoga Avenue at the gateway into the city. The sign would have a place on it to keep a tally of trees planted. Volunteers
would be responsible for changing the tally on the sign. 2) The Heritage Tree Society would also create a database on their website to keep track of trees planted. This would require
creating a form that residents can fill out and submit to the Heritage Tree Society. Volunteers would upload the information from the forms to the database on a periodic basis. Information
to be included on the database would include the date planted, number of trees planted, and location where trees were planted. A blank form could be included with every tree removal
permit approved by the City, along with directions on how to submit it to the Heritage Tree Society for inclusion on the database. 3) An article about the project could be published
in the Saratogan, to correspond with the kickoff of the project (winter 2010 issue), letting residents know about the project and how to include their new trees. Follow-up articles may
be published as well well to note progress towards the goal of planting the 2,015 new trees. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Sections 15306 and 15307. The planting of trees and collection of information about the number of trees planted per year for five
years will provide the City with valuable information that is currently not available. This information would also help the City to document the mitigation action taken by its residents
to replace trees removed through the permitting process. FISCAL IMPACTS: The Heritage Tree Society would cover all costs related to the sign and provide volunteers for all activities,
with minimal cost to the City. 128
3 CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: No official count of new trees planted will occur. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Provide staff with alternative direction. FOLLOW UP ACTION:
Provide staff with direction for follow up action. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Notice of this meeting was properly posted. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Article from the New York Times

MAYOR BLOOMBERG AND BETTE MIDLER PLANT 250,000th TREE TO CELEBRATE TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF MILLIONTREESNYC After Only Two Years, Million Trees NYC is 25% Complete 10-Year Effort to Plant
and Care for One Million New Trees Part of PlaNYC, the Long-Term Vision to Create a Greener, Greater City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and New York Restoration Project (NYRP) Founder Bette
Midler today celebrated the two-year anniversary of MillionTreesNYC by planting Tree Number 250,000, a Southern Magnolia (Magnolia gradiflora) at the home of Sharon and Thomas Stoney
in St. Albans, Queens. The Mayor and Ms. Midler also announced the new "Put Down Roots" pilot program encouraging New York City homeowners to plant trees in their front and backyards.
As part of NYC Service, launched by Mayor Bloomberg to answer President Obama's national call to service, volunteers will knock on doors and inform private homeowners about the benefits
of planting trees on their property, as well as to help them obtain free trees to plant. MillionTreesNYC is a public-private partnership between the City of New York and New York Restoration
Project (NYRP). At the event, Mayor Bloomberg and Bette Midler were joined by Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe, NYRP Executive Director Drew Becher, Chief Service Officer Diahann Billings-Burford,
the Stoney family, and NYC Service volunteers. "In every area of government, we not only set ambitious goals -we work to meet them ahead of schedule," said Mayor Bloomberg. "We still
have a long way to go to reach the million tree mark, but the amount of progress we've made says a lot about how New Yorkers have embraced this project. With the help of NYC Service
volunteers and the 'Put Down Roots' pilot program, it's easier than ever for homeowners to learn about how to plant trees and obtain free trees for planting. By planting trees in your
own front and backyards, you can help green your neighborhood and create cleaner air and cooler streets, which will improve the health of all New Yorkers." "I'm overwhelmed that we are
planting our 250,000th tree," said Bette Midler, Founder, New York Restoration Project. "It just proves once again that New Yorkers are the strongest, toughest and most caring people
in the world." "Planting and caring for trees is a great way for New Yorkers to use their 'blank for good,' and we're so glad to partner with MillionTreesNYC to take this important initiative
to the next level," said Chief Service Officer Diahann Billings-Burford. "NYC Service is recruiting volunteers to help Put Down Roots, whether that's knocking on doors to educate homeowners
on the benefits of planting a tree or teaching homeowners and community members on how to care for their trees after planting." 130
"Put Down Roots" Pilot Program Begins in St. Albans on October 10th To build on the two-year success of MillionTreesNYC, this fall all New York City homeowners are encouraged to plant
trees in their front and backyards. On Saturday, October 10, through the "Put Down Roots" pilot program, trained NYC Service volunteers will canvas homeowners within a 16-block radius
in St. Albans to raise awareness of the campaign and offer free trees to homeowners to plant. They will also highlight the benefits of trees, encourage them to plant, register and care
for trees for the benefit of their community. Residents who are interested in planting a tree in their yards will receive trees on November 7th at a community tree giveaway in Daniel
M. O'Connell Playground. NYC Service volunteers will be on site to provide tips on tree planting and to assist in the transportation of the tree to the homeowner's property. This program
is a new approach to engage New York City homeowners to contribute to greening entire communities. All New Yorkers will share in the many benefits that come from planting trees in their
yards -more beautiful neighborhoods; cleaner air and water; higher property values; energy savings; cooler summer streets; and a healthier, more environmentally sustainable city. "MillionTreesNYC
seeks to expand on its initial success -of mobilizing thousands of New Yorkers to plant and care for 250,000 young trees on streets, in parks, and in natural areas -by encouraging New
York City homeowners to plant trees in their front and backyards," said New York City Parks & Recreation Commissioner Adrian Benepe. "Trees are assets to communities, and by putting
down roots in their yards, homeowners can improve their neighborhoods by cleaning the air, lowering summer air temperatures, improving air quality, and slowing climate change." NYC Service
was launched by Mayor Bloomberg in April and has three core goals: channel the power of volunteers to address the impacts of the current economic downturn, make New York City the easiest
city in America in which to serve, and ensure every young person in New York City is taught about civic engagement and has an opportunity to serve. New Yorkers can find opportunities
to serve their communities by visiting www.nyc.gov or by calling 311. Fall 2009 Tree Giveaways Homeowners participating in the "Put Down Roots" pilot program are encouraged to pick up
free trees to plant in their private yards at the Fall 2009 Tree Giveaways, hosted by non-profit and community organizations citywide. Free trees will be available for adoption at select
locations throughout the City this fall planting season. At each tree giveaway event, information will be available to teach New Yorkers how to plant and care for the tree. For distribution
dates and locations, visit www.nyc.gov or the official MillionTreesNYC website. Through a mix of public and private plantings for MillionTreesNYC, the City of New York, New York Restoration
Project, community partners and citizen volunteers are planting in places such as schoolyards and playgrounds, public housing campuses, health care facilities, business districts, commercial
and residential developments, front yards and other private lands. On MillionTreesNYC Fall Volunteer Planting Day on October 24th, thousands of volunteers will plant 20,000 trees at
15 parks and public spaces across the five boroughs. 131
MillionTreesNYC Stewardship Corps Young trees face many natural and man-made threats from the urban environment and require ongoing maintenance to survive. After planting trees, New
Yorkers can take care of trees through the MillionTreesNYC Stewardship Corps, which aims to engage thousands of volunteer New Yorkers who want to keep young newly planted trees healthy
and growing. In addition to volunteer tree care events, the Stewardship Corps offers participants the opportunity to take a free tree care workshop, receive free tree care tools, and
adopt a street tree online. The MillionTreesNYC Stewardship Corps is supported by private donations made to the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City. MillionTreesNYC is a 10-year initiative
to plant and care for one million new trees throughout the City's five boroughs and part of Mayor Bloomberg's PlaNYC, a long-term vision to create a greener, greater city. Two-thirds
of PlaNYC's 127 initiatives are either completed, on-time, or ahead of schedule. MillionTreesNYC will ultimately expand the City's urban forest by 20 percent, provide New Yorkers important
health, economic and environmental benefits, and create a more sustainable urban environment. Since its launch in October 2007, public, private and non-profit organizations have rallied
over 6,000 citizen volunteers to plant trees in what has become an unprecedented tree planting campaign and citywide environmental movement. To learn more about MillionTreesNYC, visit
www.nyc.gov or call 311. 132
