MEETING DATE: April 7, 1999 CITY MANAGER: rl i
ORIGINATING DEPT: Administrative Services DEPT. HEAD: 4,4A,
SUBJECT: Monthly Financial Report for February 1999
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
Accept the monthly financial reports for February 1999.
REPORT SUMMARY:
The accompanying financial reports represent the monthly revenues, expenditures and fund
balances in all City funds for Fiscal Year 1998 -99, as of February 1999.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Overall, revenues are slightly higher than expected at this point in the annual cycle, and
expenditures are slightly lower than expected. In the General Fund, revenues are about $310,000
higher than expected as of February, primarily due to an unanticipated property tax equity
allocation (TEA) payment, and slightly higher sales tax revenues, motor vehicle license fees,
refunds and reimbursements, and interest income. All other General Fund revenues are
approximately as budgeted at mid -year.
General Fund expenditures are about $134,000 less than anticipated as of February, with savings
in many of the program budgets. Vacancies in the Public Works department has resulted in
salary savings in the General Fund.
In other funds, vehicle fines are higher than the original conservative estimate, although not
much higher than this time last year. Development Service revenues are about 40% higher than
expected as of February due to an active development environment. Development expenditures,
however, are on target. The Streets and Roads fund has experienced some savings from staffing
vacancies. Recreation Services expenditures appear lower than anticipated as of February, but
the spring and summer are the busy season, during which both revenues and expenditures are
expected to pick up. Other funds are generally as anticipated.
Please note that operating transfers are generally only done at year end, including the transfer for
the indirect cost allocation for administrative overhead. Therefore, while the transfers are
included in the annual budget figures, they are not in the monthly estimate nor the monthly
actuals.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
None.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Nothing additional.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING ON RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
None.
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS:
Accept and file the report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. 3 lg 3 AGENDA ITEM 5.8 6
MEETING DATE: APRIL 7, 1999 CITY MGR: *M'
ORIGINATING DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS DEPT. READ: N r)
SUBJECT: Final acceptance of subdivision public improvements within Tracts 8600, 8639, 8700
and 8821
Recommended Motion(s):
1. Move to grant final acceptance of the subdivision public improvements within the following
subdivisions:
a) Tract 8600
b) Tract 8639
c) Tract 8700
d) Tract 8821
2. Move to adopt the following Resolutions rescinding the previously rejected Offers of Dedications
and accepting the following roads into the City's publicly maintained street system:
a) Resolution accepting dedication of streets within Tract 8600 which includes: northerly half of
Douglass Lane, westerly half of Taos Drive, and Taos Court.
b) Resolution accepting dedication of streets within Tract 8639 which includes: Spring Blossom
Court.
c) Resolution accepting dedication of streets within Tract 8700 which includes: Bellgrove Circle,
Congress Junction Court, Woodleigh Circle, and Masson Terrace Court.
d) Resolution accepting dedication of streets within Tract 8821 which includes: northerly portion of
Saratoga Dills Road, westerly portion of Pontiac Avenue, and southerly portion of Trinity
Avenue.
Report Summary:
The subdivision public improvements within Tracts 8600, 8639, 8700, and 8821 have been completed
and satisfactorily maintained by the subdividers for the required one year maintenance/warranty period.
Consequently, I am recommending that the City Council grant final acceptance of these improvements
and assume the maintenance responsibility for them as contemplated by the Subdivision Improvement
Agreements for each Tract. This can be accomplished by adopting the attached Resolution which
rescinds the previously rejected Offers of Dedications made on the Final Maps.
Fiscal Impacts:
There will be an increase of approximately $7,500 per year (using figures from the Pavement
Management Program) in the City's street and stone drain maintenance expenses as a result of adding
to the inventory of City maintained streets and storm drains. Roughly 1,830 feet of street for Tract
8600, 250 feet of street for Tract 8639, 4,200 feet of street for Tract 8821, and 1,335 feet of street for
Tract 8821 will be added to the City's street system.
Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact:
Nothing additional.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions:
The subdivision public improvements would continue to remain as private improvements for which the
developers and the individual lot owners within each subdivision would collectively have maintenance
responsibility.
Follow Un Actions:
The Resolutions will be recorded
Attachments:
1. Resolution Accepting Dedication of Streets for Tract 8600.
2. Resolution Accepting Dedication of Streets for Tract 8639,
3. Resolution Accepting Dedication of Streets for Tract 8700.
4. Resolution Accepting Dedication of Streets for Tract 8821.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. 3I A AGENDA ITEM 6 4
MEETING DATE: APRIL 7, 1999 CITY MANAGER: 1� ly
ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER DEPT. HEAD:
SUBJECT: Vessing Road Assessment District
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
1. Conclude the Public Hearing.
2. Direct the City Clerk to tabulate the assessment ballots and report the results.
3. Move to adopt either the two Resolutions necessary to proceed with the formation of the
assessment district, or the Resolution abandoning the assessment district proceedings,
depending on the result of the balloting and the Council's desire.
REPORT SUMMARY:
On March 25, most of the property owners in the proposed Vessing Road Assessment District
attended a meeting at City Hall to discuss the status of the proceedings, and to decide whether or
not to continue with the formation of the assessment district. By the conclusion of the meeting, it
appeared evident that the vast majority of the property owners now indeed support the formation
of the district. The reasons for this are threefold. First, the property owners have been
unsuccessful in developing a satisfactory alternative to the assessment district for improving their
private road to minimum public street standards. Second, a significant obstacle to forming the
assessment district seems to have been overcome as a result of recent court judgment entered in
favor of the property owners. The court apparently has ruled that an historical road right -of -way
across a property not within the boundaries of the proposed district, but which benefits the
property owners and is needed by them to improve their road, does still exist. Third, the property
owners remain eager to fulfill their original objective of improving Vessing Road to a standard
which will allow them to dedicate the road to the City for ongoing maintenance purposes.
1
At the meeting, the property owners were each provided with a supplemental ballot and
instructions, and encouraged to return their ballots by the close of the public hearing on April 7.
The same supplemental ballot and instructions were also mailed to those property owners who
were not in attendance at the meeting.
At the public hearing which was continued from March 17, the Council must allow any remaining
testimony to be offered, after which the hearing should be closed. At that point, the Council
should direct the City Clerk to tabulate the ballots which are submitted by the close of the hearing
and to report the results. Assuming the result of the balloting supports formation of the
assessment district, the Council can proceed with the formation of the district by passing the first
two resolutions attached to this report. However, the Council is not obligated to form the
assessment district in this case and may opt to abandon the proceedings if it chooses by adopting
the third resolution attached hereto. Of course, if the result of the balloting opposes formation of
the district, the Council must adopt the resolution abandoning the proceedings.
If the Council passes the first two resolutions, the actual work to bring the project to fruition can
begin. This involves the acquisition of necessary right -of -way (surveys, appraisals, and possible
condemnation proceedings if that becomes necessary), finalizing an agreement with the San Jose
Water Company for completing the water main extension design and construction work, and
obtaining construction bids for the street improvement work. These next steps will take several
months to complete, after which a very accurate estimate of the total project cost will be known.
At that time, the City Council may reduce the assessment amounts for each property owner
accordingly, before the actual Notices of Assessments are issued and recorded. Recall that the
assessment amounts included in the ballots are based on an extremely conservative, worst case
estimate of the total project cost, and are the maximum amounts that each property owner would
be subject to pay. Very likely, the actual total project cost will be considerably less, thereby
allowing the City Council to reduce the assessment amount for each property owner before the
final assessments are confirmed.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no direct fiscal impacts on the City as a result of moving forward with the assessment
district. All of the costs associated with forming the district, and with developing the project, will
be recovered via the assessments. Even if later on it is decided to abandon the proceedings before
advancing to construction, the City will be entitled to recover any up front costs incurred to
develop the project to that point.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
The property owners in the proposed district have each been notified of the continued public
hearing.
1
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING ON RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
Depends on the Council's action.
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS:
If the Council adopts the first two resolutions, staff will proceed with the work required to
advance the project to the point of construction. If the Council adopts the third resolution, it will
be recorded and the property owners notified of the termination of the proceedings.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Memorandum of proceedings prepared by the Assessment District legal counsel.
2. City Clerk's Certificate re: Assessment Ballot Results.
3. Resolution overruling protests.
4. Resolution approving report and assessment and ordering improvement.
5. Resolution abandoning proceedings.
6. Assessment Engineer's Report.
7. Original Notice of Improvement and Assessment Ballot.
8. Supplemental Notice and Assessment Ballot.

The City Council of the City of Saratoga resolves:
On January 21, 1998, the City Council opened a public hearing on the resolution
of intention, as amended, and the engineer's report on the proposed improvement in
Vessing Road Assessment District, City of Saratoga, Santa Clara County, California. The
hearing was continued from time to time to April 7, 1999 at 7:30 P.M.
Prior to the conclusion of the hearing, certain interested persons made protests or
objections to the proposed improvement, the extent of the assessment district or the
proposed assessment.
The City Council hereby overrules each of these protests, written or oral.
The City Council finds that the protest against the proposed improvement
(including all written protests not withdrawn in writing before the conclusion of the
protest hearing) does not constitute a majority protest weighted by the respective amounts
of the assessments, as provided by Article XIIID of the California Constitution and the
Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act.

VESSING ROAD ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
CITY OF SARATOGA, SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
METHOD OF SPREAD
The amounts to be assessed against the parcels of property to pay the costs and
expenses of the work and improvements have been based on the estimated benefits to
be derived by the various properties within the assessment district from the proposed
improvements.
The total assessment to be levied against any parcel of land in the district shall be the
sum of the amounts determined by the following:
A. Basic Street Improvements (Item 1):
The cost of constructing street improvements along Vessing Road and Vessing Court
including, but not necessarily limited to grading, paving, land acquisition, local surface
drainage facilities, utility relocations and minor traffic signage shall be assessed as
follows:
1. Special Benefit: Vessing Road and Vessing Court together form a cul -de-
sac approximately 1,250 feet in length. The only purpose of the streets is
to provide access to properties fronting either Vessing Road or Vessing
Court. The basic street improvements described above provide special
and direct benefit to all parcels dependent on Vessing Road for vehicular
ingress and egress from Quito Road. The street improvements will
eliminate existing broken pavement and potholes which are considered a
nuisance and which could pose a potential safety hazard. Additionally,
the improved street surface and the addition of a new drainage inlet will
provide for improved local drainage conditions. Accordingly, the costs of
said improvements will be distributed equally to all properties within the
district.
2. General Benefit: Vessing Road and Vessing Court constitute a "dead -end"
street which provides for neither "thru- traffic" or general vehicular
circulation. Because they provide only for local traffic, it can be fairly
assumed that vehicles utilizing either Vessing Road or Vessing Court do
so to access one or more of the several properties within the district.
Whether the purpose of vehicle trips along these streets is for direct
access to individual properties by residents and guests, or results from
delivery, service, utility or public safety vehicles, the trips are of direct
and specific benefit to the parcels within the district and no benefit is
attributable to other properties in the surrounding community or to the
public in general.
B. Frontage Improvements (Item 2):
The cost of concrete curb and gutter shall be spread in accordance with benefit
received as follows:
1. Special Benefit: The construction of curb and gutter is typically required
along individual property frontages when streets are improved to City
standards. Such construction, together with other improvements (such as
sidewalks) are commonly referred to as "frontage improvements The
construction of curb and gutter will also contribute to improved drainage
along the fronting properties.
Even if Vessing Road and Vessing Court were not strictly local streets (see
Paragraph Al, above), the benefit of frontage improvements would be
attributable as a special benefit to the immediate fronting property.
Accordingly, the cost of concrete curb and gutter shall be spread to
benefitting properties in the ratio that the length of each parcel's
improved street frontage bears to the total length of parcel frontage on
improved streets within the project. Excepting that parcels having
previously constructed comparable frontage improvements shall not be
assessed and their frontages shall not be included in the computation of
the distribution ratios.
2. General Benefit: Historically, it has been the practice throughout
California to associate frontage improvements with the individual
property even on major thoroughfares. In the case of non -local streets,
general benefit is usually ascribed to "arterial improvements" (such as
travel lanes, traffic signals, medians, etc.) which are necessary for
community-wide or regional traffic circulation. In contrast, frontage
improvements are of direct benefit to the parcels within the district and
no general benefit is attributable to other properties in the surrounding
community or to the public in general.
C. Water System Improvements (Item 3):
The total cost of constructing water system improvements shall be spread to the
benefitting parcels as follows:
1. Water Main Extension: The cost for the extension of the water
distribution main in Vessing Road between Vessing Court and Quito Road
(including pipelines, valves, fire hydrants, and connections to the existing
distribution system) shall be spread to each parcel within the service area
of the new fire hydrant on an equal basis.
(a) Special Benefit: The principal purposes for the extension of the
water main (to be operated by San Jose Water Company) is to
improve fire suppression flow and increase system redundancy for
residential properties along Vessing Road. All benefit is specific to
those parcels situated along either side of Vessing Road between
Vessing Court and Quito Road.
(b) General Benefit: The water main extension is totally within the
district and no quantifiable general benefit is attributable to other
properties in the surrounding community or to the public in
general.
2. Relocation of Water Services: The cost for installation of new metered
water services and retirement of existing service connections shall be
spread to each parcel receiving a new metered service on an equal basis.
(a) Special Benefit: All benefit is specific to those parcels receiving
new metered services.
(b) General Benefit: There is no general benefit to any parcels other
than those receiving new metered service connections.
D. Rights -of -Way (Item 4):
The cost for acquisition of rights -of -way shall be spread to all properties within
the district in the same proportions as the costs for Item 1 Basic Street
Improvements. The assignment of special and general benefits for rights -of -way
are also consistent with those for Item 1.
E. Incidental Costs (Item 5):
The cost of incidental expenses spread to the various parcels within the district
shall be the sum of the following:
1. Street Construction Related Costs: Incidental expenses (such as design
engineering and other professional services) identified as related to the
construction of street improvements shall be spread in the ratio that each
parcels' aggregate assessment for Items 1 and 2 bears to the total of
assessments for Items 1 and 2 for all parcels in the district. The
assignment of special and general benefits incidental costs related to the
street construction shall be the same and in the same proportions as
those for their corresponding items for improvement.
2. Water System Related Costs: Incidental costs (including design
engineering and tax gross -up expense) identified as related to the
construction of water system improvements shall be spread in the ratio
that each parcel's aggregate assessment for Item 3 bears to the total of
assessments for Item 3 for all parcels in the district. The assignment of
special and general benefits for incidental costs related to water system
elements shall be the same and in the same proportions as those for
their corresponding items of improvement.
3. Financing and Administrative Related Incidental Costs: Incidental
expenses (such as assessment engineering, bond counsel and bond costs)
identified as related to the financing of the works of improvement shall
be spread in the ratio that each parcel's total assessment for Items 1
through 4 (inclusive) bears to the total of assessments for Items 1
through 4 (inclusive) for all parcels in the district. The assignment of
special and general benefits for financing and administrative incidental
costs shall be the same and in the same proportions as those for their
corresponding items of improvement.
F. Credit for Preliminary Survey Costs (Item 6):
Funds for the initial design surveys were advanced by voluntary contributions
from sixteen property owners within the district. A total of $3,525 was
expended for this purpose. Credits, including allowances for the 10%
contingency mark -up ($352) shall be distributed equally to all properties having
advanced funds for this purpose. All credits are for local special benefit.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
EXECUTIV SUMMARY NO. 3 I a AGENDA ITEM G i
MEETING DATE: April 7, 1999 CITY MANAGER
ORIGINATING DEPT: Office of the City Manager
Paula Reeve, Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: Allocations for FY 1999/00 Housing and Community Development Act
Funds (CDBG) and Human Services Grants
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
1. Conduct the Public Hearing.
2. Make allocations for approximately $166,543 for FY 1999/00 CDBG and Human
Services funds.
REPORT SUMMARY:
The City Council is being asked to conduct a Public Hearing to receive comments and
recommendations on project proposals for 1999/00 Housing and Community
Development Act (HCDA) funds provided through the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program. Council is further requested to make a determination regarding
the allocation of $166,543 of these funds for Saratoga's FY 1999/00 grant proposals. The
availability of Block Grant funds for eligible projects and activities has been publicized in
the local newspaper.
In an effort to continue streamlining the CDBG program administration process during the
upcoming fiscal year, only proposals for specific Saratoga rehabilitation projects
sponsored by the City, or projects by agencies operating in Saratoga are being considered
during the 1999 /00 funding cycle.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM BACKGROUND
The City of Saratoga and seven other "nonentitlement" cities (population under 50,000)
within Santa Clara County, including the Urban County, receive federal Housing and
Community Development Act funds. These funds are administered by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for eligible projects and activities. By
regulation, nonentitlement cities receive funds through a cooperative Agreement with the
Urban County of Santa Clara (the locally responsible grant recipient). Expenditure of
these funds is restricted by federal regulations and additional guidelines imposed by the
County.
FY 1999 /00 ALLOCATIONS
The total allocation to the County for 1999/00 is expected to be approximately
$2,591,000. Twenty percent of this grant will be disbursed for administrative expenses;
forty percent is allocated to the Countywide competitive pool where funds are prioritized
for projects and activities to increase the supply of affordable housing in the County; and
the remainder is disbursed to the "nonentitlement cities" and the County to be allocated
for other eligible CDBG programs, which is the focus of this report.
The City of Saratoga will receive $151,543 for projects, plus $15,000 to cover staff
administration expenses for a total of $166,543 for Council's consideration for the
1999/00 CDBG funding cycle. Saratoga may allocate $32,374 of its total grant to Human
Services proposals, as set by a pre determined cap of the total County grant. Human
Services include, but are not limited to: child care, job training programs, counseling,
recreation programs and services for senior citizens.
FY 1999 /00 HUMAN SERVICES AND CDBG FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS
One Human Services and two CDBG grant project proposals were received during the
application cycle. An additional consideration is the mandatory annual $15,000
contribution to fund the County's Rehab Program assistance to Saratoga. Attachment 1
contains a Chart of Staff's funding recommendations, and Attachments 2 through 4 are
copies of the applicants' project proposals for Council's review.
Human Services Proposal
1 Proposal SASCC Adult Day Care Program (Attachment 2)
Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council submitted its annual proposal for CDBG
Human Services funding for continued support of the SASCC Adult Day Care Center
Program during FY 1999/00.
Recommendation: Staff recommends funding the Saratoga Adult Day Care Center
Program with the total $32,374 available from CDBG Human Services Grant funds.
2
CDBG Proposals
1 Proposal Project etch (Attachment 3)
Project Match is requesting $14,700 to subsidize the rent payments of its senior group
home located at 20218 Blauer Avenue in Saratoga. Project Match has been a recipient of
CDBG funding from the City since 1991 for this project which provides shared residential
housing to approximately three to five low income seniors at a time.
Recommendation: Staff endorses funding $14,700 to support Project Match in its effort
to continue providing affordable housing to low income Saratoga seniors. Low income
housing for Seniors has been identified as an affordable housing need in Saratoga.
2 Proposal Community Center Senior Wing Rehab (Attachment 4)
Staff would like complete the City's project to refurbish the Senior Wing of the
Community Center which was awarded $100,000 during last year's funding cycle. Phase I
of the project was completed last fall which included installing a concrete patio enclosed
by a railing to enable the Senior Day Care Program participants to enjoy the outdoors on
sunny days. Staff is now proposing additional funding to complete Phase II of the project
to undertake improvements to interior office and storage space, to modernize the paint,
ceilings and floor coverings as outlined on Attachment 4, for a total $179,400.
Attachment 4 is a preliminary breakdown of the proposed improvements compiled by the
County's Housing Rehabilitation Specialist.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending funding Phase II of the Senior Wing Rehab Project with $104,469
from the FY 99/00 grant, and the approximate $75,000 balance from Phase I, for a total
of $179,400. This project is a perfect example of streamlining the focus of the CDBG
Program by allocating funds to Saratoga specific projects which benefit an approved
population sector, in this particular instance, the senior population. In addition
refurbishing this wing of the Community Center benefits both the City and SASCC.
Funding Requirement for County Housing Rehabilitation Assistance
Each participating City utilizing the services of the County's Housing Rehabilitation
Specialist is required to pay $15,000 from its annual CDBG grant to cover these costs.
These services include site inspections, estimates, work write -ups, the job bidding and
award processes, and project supervision and compliance oversight.
Recommendation: Staff recommends funding $15,000 for the County's Housing
Rehabilitation Specialist services which will be required extensively to assist with the
Senior Wing rehab project.

Recommendation: Staff recommends funding $15,000 for the County's Housing
Rehabilitation Specialist services which will be required extensively to assist with the
Senior Wing rehab project.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
As noted above, the City has been awarded an HCDA allocation from the Urban County
program for project costs, plus $15,000 for staff administrative expenditures, for a total
of $166,543 for FY 99/00.

PROJECT NAME: Saratoga Adult Care Center Day Care Program
DOLLAR AMT. OF FUNDS REQUESTED FROM CITY OF SARATOGA $32,374.00
PROJECT ABSTRACT (Limit statement to space provided)
The Saratoga Adult Care Center is a Social Adult Day Program, which has provided a safe and stimulating
environment for frail elders and respite for caregivers for the past eleven years. The program is open Monday
through Friday from approximately 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Since the program serves mostly low- income elders, requests
for funding are made to numerous sources in order to subsidize one of the fastest growing segments of our West
Valley area's population. Adult Day Care Services are an ideal way to care for the needs of frail seniors, often
eliminating the need for institutionalized care and reducing care costs for both the families and the community as a
whole. The project will provide over 5000 hours of participant care, 351 participant days monthly to 40 to 42
persons and respite to caregivers in 50 different families.
The City of Saratoga does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age or
disability in the provision of services and programs.
SARATOGA ADULT CARE CENTER
THE SARATOGA AREA SENIOR COORDINATING COUNCIL
NARRATIVE
3A. Organizational Qualifications
The Saratoga Adult Care Center is a major program component of the Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council
(SASCC) incorporated as a non profit organization in 1979. SASCC also operates the Saratoga Senior Center for
more active older adults. Recognizing the needs of the aging population, supported by a community assessment,
SASCC opened the Saratoga Adult Care Center in 1988 as the first facility in Santa Clara County to be designed and
built specifically as an adult care center. It provides much needed respite for caregivers and promotes a higher
quality of life for the participants at much less cost to both family members and public agencies.
The Saratoga Adult Care Center's main objectives are to prevent or delay institutionalization of the frail elderly,
enabling them to remain in their homes for as long as possible and to improve the quality of life for the participants
and the caregivers. The need for this service will accelerate as the population ages. By the year 2010, Santa Clara
County's population of those 85 years of age and over is expected to double.
The Saratoga Adult Care Center opened in January 1988 and has steadily increased in number of days open from
two at the onset to five full days weekly by February 1994. During this time, the average number of families served
monthly increased from 9 to 40 at any one time, with well over 351 visits by participants each month. This increased
utilization and the recent establishment of a wait list, validate the need and demand for the service. Though licensed
by Community Care Licensing for 30 participants per day, the Center comfortably serves 20 -21 participants per day.
Participants come from surrounding areas of the West Valley Corridor, including Saratoga, Los Gatos, Santa Clara,
Campbell, West San Jose and Cupertino.
The Board of Directors of the Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council is responsible for the Saratoga Adult Care
Center. The Center operates under the guidance of its own Advisory board, whose members are nurses, physicians,
business persons and community volunteers who know the area and have had experience with Adult Care. (Current
list is attached.) The Administrative Director is responsible for the daily operations of the Center and has a Master
Degree in Social Work with many years of experience in Older Adult Case Management. She is the only full -time
staff member and the others include a part-time Program Coordinator with over eleven years in the assignment, three
part-time Program Assistants, a part-time Social Worker and Clerical Assistant The staff is highly trained, each with
many years of experience working with frail elders. Thirty trained volunteers supplement the seven paid staff and
provide over 500 hours of service annually.
B. Past Performance and Evaluation
The Administrative Director of the Saratoga Adult Care Center submits quarterly reports to the City of Saratoga as
required and gives monthly reports to the Board of Directors and to the Advisory Board of Saratoga Adult Care
Center all to assure that effectiveness is evaluated regularly. The Center also meets state licensing and sanitation
requirements annually. The quality and effectiveness of the program is also measured by a new
Participant/Caregiver survey, which is filled out by family members twice a year. Results from the survey indicate
improvement in quality of life for both the participant and caregiver as well as changes in mental and physical
functioning of the participant Evidence that institutionalization has been avoided or delayed can be determined by
census and discharge information.
The Administrative Director works with the other Adult Daycare Directors in the county, with Volunteer Exchange,
the Network of Aging Providers and other community agencies. Staff has served on the Senior Care Commission
and the Board of Information and Referral, Inc. The Center utilizes volunteers and community service organizations,
which contribute hundreds of hours. All this interagency coordination helps to eliminate duplication of services
where appropriate and builds awareness of the Adult Care Center's programs throughout the county.
C. Project Outcome Objectives
(1) Provide respite care daily to 20 frail and less independent participants from the West Valley Area of Santa Clara
County.
(2) Prevent or delay institutionalization of individuals who require considerable personal assistance.
(3) Provide socialization, instruction, and structured activities for the less independent elderly such as exercise,
crafts, skill development and nutritious meals daily in a licensed care facility.
(4) Continue to facilitate caregiver support groups twice monthly in cooperation with the Alzheimer's Association
and provide similar support services to local churches and civic organizations of the West Valley area.
(5) Provide respite and improve quality of life for caregivers and eliminate or delay the high emotional and
financial cost of custodial care. (The Adult Care Center is about $9/hour as compared to the average nursing
homes which charges about $150 per day.)
(6) Continue utilizing volunteer services to help contain Center costs.
(7) Maintain maximum enrollment of approximately 40 participants each month.
(8) Increase funding base through local resources, participant fees and fund raising events in an effort to reduce
dependence on City and county funding. Due to the low- income status of the population served and the service
intensive nature of the program, becoming self supporting is not feasible.
D. Project Management
The services provided by the Saratoga Adult Care Center are overseen by the SASCC Board of Directors and the
Care Center Advisory Board. The Administrative Director who is responsible for the day to-day operations of the
Center reports directly to the Executive Director of SASCC for consultation and guidance purposes. All the staff at
the Saratoga Adult Care Center are employed by the Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council and are paid
through a payroll system administered by SASCC.
The Administrative Director supervises six part-time employees. The Program Coordinator reports directly to the
Administrative Director. She is responsible for scheduling all activities, special events and classes for the
participants. She leads many of the activities and oversees the three Program Assistants who also run activities and
assist participants with participation, meals, toileting and all other special needs. When needed, the Administrative
Director may choose to get involved as well.
The licensed Social Worker evaluates the needs of potential new clients, does home visit assessments, develops Care
Plans, works with families in need, facilitates support groups and other related activities. She reports directly to the
Administrative Director, as does the Clerical Assistant who is responsible for bills, typing and filing.
The program provides exercise routines, memory training and stimulation through travelogues, crafts, music, a
variety of entertainment, current events, discussions and directed conversation. Special adaptive exercises and skill
training are focused on participants who need help with physical disabilities (e.g. stroke, aphasia, Parkinson's.) A
full nutritious meal is served daily. Volunteers and instructors assigned by West Valley College augment the
activities and help contain costs.
Caregiver support groups are organized as a community service to assist those who are caring for dependent elders
to cope with the stresses of providing such care. This group is facilitated by the social worker, meets twice a month
and is co- sponsored by the Alzheimer's Association. The Administrative Director and Program Coordinator
maintain strong public relations ties with local, county and state senior organizations and participate in required
trainings. They are involved with public speaking engagements, organizational networking and other important
community events. All this promotes high visibility for the program and has resulted in full capacity census for the
last two years. A five minute video was produced about the Saratoga Adult Care Center with the assistance of
volunteers from West Valley and Mission Colleges and is an excellent public relations tool.
E. Statement of Need
The Saratoga Adult Care Center provides non medical, supportive day services to those persons over 60 years of
age, in need of supervision and assistance with some activities of daily living. The program also provides the badly
needed respite to the caregivers of these frail elders.
Advances in medical technology and increased life expectancy have caused a sharp increase in the aging population.
Simultaneously, the number of available caregivers capable of caring for elderly family members has decreased as
the size of the American family and proximity to one another diminishes. Adult Care is a supportive service
available to frail seniors and their families, which is largely underutilized. This affordable care option can prevent
or delay the need for institutionalization and enhance the family's ability to care for elderly relatives at home, while
giving them time to carry out necessary family tasks or employment responsibilities.
According to County statistics, sixty percent of frail elders residing in Santa Clara County live at poverty level. As
this segment of our population continues to grow, funding for Adult Day Services has become more critical than
ever. As a result, the Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council continues to seek funds from a variety of sources.
Although the City of Saratoga has been unable to meet full funding requests, it offers in -kind services to the Adult
Care Center and through a Community Development Block Grant, has been able to fund approximately 22% of the
Care Center's budget. Other funding sources such as United Way are currently giving low priority to new funding
requests and Santa Clara County has also denied funding for the passed two years. A grant application has been
submitted to the City of Campbell and one will be submitted to the City of San Jose in the summer of 2000 as well.
E. Proiect Beneficiaries
Beneficiaries are typically frail seniors who are isolated in their homes and would benefit from day care in a safe
and stimulating environment. Sixty percent of the projected beneficiaries are residents of Saratoga, with other
participants coming from adjacent areas of Campbell, Los Gatos, and San Jose. These persons with an average age
of 85 years are on low, fixed incomes and 82% of these participants have low to very low incomes. The Adult Care
Center now is full five days weekly and revenues continue to increase, but subsidy is necessary.
F. Fiscal
Please refer to the Program Budget sheet in which we request $32,374 to support a portion of the total operating
costs of the Saratoga Adult Care program including salaries, organization costs, training expense, audit, insurance,
mileage expense and necessary licenses and memberships. With intensive volunteer effort, which provides program
presenters and hands -on service to participants, this program creatively stretches its revenues. The budget is tightly
controlled and expenses are reviewed monthly by the Finance Committee, Advisory Board and Board of Directors
of the Corporation. Rent, utilities and janitorial services are provided in -kind by the City of Saratoga. This is a
significant budget saver and the exact dollar value has not been accurately determined.
Since 66% of the participants have low or very-low income, their daily payments are subsidized and average only
$19 per day. With the efficient and Spartan use of resources the cost of the program is factored at $9 per hour or $45
daily per participant. This is considerably less than in -home or nursing care for an individual who might otherwise
require public support. Funds are requested from the City of Saratoga to underwrite the program for these
beneficiaries.
In addition, the Saratoga Adult Care program gains support from fund raising and marketing efforts through fashion
show luncheons, theatre parties, a spaghetti dinner and targeted requests. An on -going effort to involve businesses
and community services results in additional contributions of time and funding. Meal cost reimbursements from the
Council on Aging (USDA) and donations from participant's estates have also added to budget stability. SASCC's
Endowment Fund provides monthly allocations to supplement the deficit in the budget.

SARATOGA SENIOR GROUP RESIDENCE RENT SUBSIDY PROGRAM
NARRATIVE
For the past 21 years, Project Match has provided affordable housing for very low income seniors
throughout Santa Clara County. At the same time, our innovative shared housing strategy has provided
companionship, security and affordable housing for thousands of seniors. Considering that over
107,000 seniors in the County have incomes below $25,000 annually and rental costs are above $800
monthly, Project Match's strategy is as vital now as it was 21 years ago.
Our Saratoga Senior Group Residence Rent Subsidy Program we will serve seniors 60
years of age and older who have low- incomes. In our Group Residence Program we will continue to
work to create environments that honor people as individuals and develop relationships that provide a
sense of security, place and self worth. The Saratoga Senior Group Residence Rent Subsidy Program
will provide shared housing for seniors in a single family home located on 20218 Blauer Dr. in the City
of Saratoga. We will act as property manager of the group residence and coordinate all placement
opportunities. Our Senior Group Residence Program has proved extremely successful in helping
seniors experiencing depression that results from the isolation of living alone, and has served as a
model for other such programs throughout the nation.
Project Match operates a total of 7 Senior Group Residence programs throughout Santa Clara
County. There are currently 33 rooms available in our 7 Senior Group Residences. Last year the
average room in our Group Residences was $361. Our occupancy rate was over 95%. The average
length of stay in our group residences is two years while the longest residency is almost 9 years. The
two primary reasons seniors leave our group residences are because (1) their medical needs become
so serious that they require 24 -hour care or (2) because the resident dies. Our goal is to help clients
identify those qualities of life they value and to work together to obtain the necessary resources that
will allow them to live by these values. This program has proved so successful that the television
news magazine 20/20 featured it as an innovative solution to the problem of social isolation among
seniors. Our program benefits seniors with very low incomes to:
Gain affordable housing
Identify their self care, mutual care, and professorial care needs and to get these needs met
Experience their living environments as affordable, safe, companionable, respectful, and
community oriented
Our Saratoga Senior Group Residence Rent Subsidy Program, located on Blauer Dr. will provide
affordable housing for 6 low- income seniors 60 years of age or older. The house is currently at
100% occupancy with all six rooms being filled. The program provides this affordable housing
through rent subsidies form the City's Hosing Find for Low Income Seniors. The house has been
leased for this purpose since 1991 and the City of Saratoga has provided rent subsidy since that time.

ORDINANCE NO. 71-
AN ORDINANCE ADDING ARTICLE 4.80 TO CHAPTER 4 OF
THE SARATOGA CITY CODE RELATING TO REGULATION
OF ADULT- ORIENTED BUSINESSES
The City Council of the City of Saratoga does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. The City Council of the City of Saratoga hereby
finds that:
(a) The City Council, in adopting this ordinance, takes legislative notice of
the existence and content of the following studies concerning the adverse secondary
side effects of Adult- Oriented Business in other cities: Garden Grove, California
(1991); Tucson, Arizona (1990); Seattle, Washington (1989); Austin, Texas (1986);
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (1986); Indianapolis, Indiana (1984); Houston, Texas
(1983); Beaumont, Texas (1982); Minneapolis, Minnesota (1980); Phoenix, Arizona
(1979); Whittier, California (1978); Amarillo, Texas (1977); Cleveland, Ohio
(1977); Los Angeles, California (1977). The City Council finds that these studies are
relevant to the potential problems addressed by the City in enacting this ordinance to
regulate the adverse secondary side effects of Adult- Oriented Businesses, and more
specifically finds that the these studies provide convincing evidence that:
(1) Adult- Oriented Businesses are linked to increases in the crime
rates in those areas in which they are located and in surrounding areas.
(2) There is substantial evidence that an increase in crime tends to
accompany, concentrate around, and be aggravated by Adult- Oriented Businesses.
(b) Based on the foregoing, the City Council of the City of Saratoga finds
and determines that special regulation of Adult- Oriented Businesses is necessary to
ensure that their adverse secondary side effects will not contribute to an increase in
crime rates. The need for such special regulations is based upon the recognition that
Adult- Oriented Business have serious objectionable operational characteristics,
thereby having a deleterious effect upon the adjacent areas. It is the purpose and
intent of these special regulations to prevent such adverse secondary side effects.
1
(c) In developing this ordinance, the City Council has been mindful of legal
principles relating to regulation of Adult Oriented Businesses and does not intend to
suppress or infringe upon any expressive activities protected by the First Amendment
of the United States and California Constitutions, but instead desires to enact
reasonable time, place, and manner regulations that address the adverse secondary
effects of Adult Oriented Businesses. The City Council has considered decisions of
the United States Supreme Court regarding local regulation of Adult- Oriented
Businesses, including but not limited to: Young v. American Mini Theaters, Inc., 427
U.S. 50 (1976) (Reh. Denied 429 U.S. 873); Renton v. Playtime Theaters, 475 U.S.
41 (1986) (Reh. Denied 475 U. S. 1132); FW/PBS. Inc. v. Dallas, 493 U.S. 215
(1990); Barnes v. Glenn Theater, 501 U.S. 560 (1991); United States Court of
Appeals 9th Circuit decisions, including but not limited to: Topanga Press, et al. v.
City of Los Angeles, 989 F.2d 1524 (1993); several California cases including but not
limited to: City of National City v. Wiener, 3 Cal.4th 832 (1993); People v. Superior
Court (Lucero) 49 Ca1.3d 14 (1989); and City of Vallejo v. Adult Books. et al., 167
Cal.App.3d 1169 (1985); and other federal cases including Lakeland Lounge v. City
of Jacksonville (5th Cir. 1992) 973 F.2d 1255, Hang On, Inc. v. Arlington (5th Cir.
1995) 65 F.3d 1248, Mitchell v. Commission on Adult Entertainment (3rd Cir.
1993) 10 F.3d 123, International Eateries v. Broward County (11th Cir. 1991) 941
F.2d 1157, and Star Satellite v. City of Biloxi (5th Cir. 1986) 779 F.2d 1074. The
City Council also takes legislative notice of the facts recited in the case of Key, Inc. v.
Kitsap County, 793 F.2d 1053 (1986), regarding how live adult entertainment results
in adverse secondary effects and law enforcement problems.
(d) The City Council finds the following, in part based upon its
understanding of the documents and judicial decisions in the public record:
(1) Evidence indicates that some dancers, models and
entertainers, and other persons who publicly perform
Specified Sexual Activities or publicly display Specified
Anatomical Parts in Adult- Oriented Businesses (collectively
referred to as `performers') have been found to engage in
sexual activities with patrons of Adult- Oriented Businesses
on the site of the Adult- Oriented Businesses;
(2) Evidence has demonstrated that performers employed by
Adult- Oriented Businesses have been found to offer and
provide private shows to patrons who, for a price, are
permitted to observe and participate with the performers in
live sex shows;
2
(3) Evidence indicates that performers at Adult- Oriented
Businesses have been found to engage in acts of
prostitution with patrons of the establishment;
(4) Evidence indicates that fully enclosed booths, individual
viewing areas, and other small rooms whose interiors
cannot be seen from public areas of the establishment
regularly have been found to be used as a location for
engaging in unlawful sexual activity;
(5) As a result of the above, and the increase in incidents of
AIDS and Hepatitis B, which are both sexually transmitted
diseases, the City has a substantial interest in adopting
regulations which will reduce, to the greatest extent
possible, the possibility for the occurrence of prostitution
and casual sex acts at Adult- Oriented Businesses.
(e) Licensing and other police power regulations are legitimate, reasonable
means of accountability to help protect the quality of life in the community of
Saratoga and to help assure that all operators of Adult- Oriented Businesses comply
with reasonable regulations that minimize the adverse secondary effects which
typically accompany the operation of such businesses.
(f) It is not the intent of the City Council of the City of Saratoga in
enacting this ordinance, or any provisions thereof to condone or legitimize the
distribution of obscene material, and the City of Saratoga recognizes that state law
prohibits the distribution of the obscene materials and expects and encourages law
enforcement officials to enforce state obscenity statutes against such illegal activities
in the City of Saratoga.
(g) Nothing in this ordinance is intended to authorize, legalize, or permit
the establishment, operation, or maintenance of any business, building, or use which
violates any City ordinance or any statute of the State of California regarding public
nuisances, unlawful or indecent exposure, sexual conduct, lewdness, obscene or
harmful matter or the exhibition or public display thereof.
(h) In prohibiting public nudity in Adult- Oriented Businesses, the City
Council does not intend to proscribe the communication of erotic messages or any
other communicative element or act, but rather only to prohibit public nudity due to
the secondary impacts associated with such public nudity; and
3
(i) The City Council also finds, as a wholly independent basis, that it has a
substantial public interest in preserving societal order and morality, and that such
interest is furthered by a prohibition on public nudity; and
(j) While the City Council desires to protect the rights conferred by the
United States Constitution on Adult- Oriented Businesses, it does so in a manner that
ensures the continued and orderly use and enjoyment of property within the City and
diminishes, to the greatest extent feasible, those undesirable secondary effects which
the aforementioned studies have shown to be associated with the development and
operation of Adult Oriented Businesses; and
(k) In enacting a nudity limitation, the City declares that the limitation is a
regulatory licensing provision and not a criminal offense. The City has not provided
a criminal penalty for a violation of the nudity limitation. The City adopts such a
limitation only as a condition of issuance and maintenance of an Adult- Oriented
Business permit issued pursuant to the City Code; and
(1) The City Council finds that requiring separations between entertainers
and patrons and preventing the exchange of money between entertainers and patrons
also reduces the likelihood of drug and sex transactions occurring in Adult- Oriented
Businesses; and
(m) Enclosed or concealed booths and dimly -lit areas within Adult- Oriented
Businesses greatly increase the potential for misuse of the premises, including
unlawful conduct of a type which facilitates transmission of disease. Requirements
that all indoor areas be open to view by management at all times, and that adequate
lighting be provided are necessary in order to reduce the opportunity for, and
therefore the incidence of illegal conduct within Adult- Oriented Businesses, and to
facilitate the inspection of the interior of the premises thereof by law enforcement
personnel, and
(n) The City Council finds that Adult- Oriented Business Permits shall be
denied to applicants with recent criminal convictions for sexually- related offenses due
to the evidenced lack of commitment to enforcement of prohibitions with respect to
sexual offenses and due to the high incidence of recidivism with respect to sexual
crimes.

added to Chapter 4 of the Saratoga City Code, to read as follows:

The City Council recently adopted a revised sewage disposal Ordinance that both incorporated the
County's sewage disposal requirements and added more stringent City requirements. The Ordinance
went into effect on Monday, April 5, 1999. As Community Development staff has prepared to
implement the Ordinance, it has become apparent that some of the Ordinance's requirements need to
be clarified since varying interpretations of the Ordinance are possible. Specifically, staff is seeking
the Council's direction as to whether all septic systems on properties within 200 ft. of the public
sanitary sewer system, regardless of their condition, should be required to be abandoned within a
specified period of time, or whether only those septic systems which in the Health Officer's
judgment should be abandoned are required to be. If the City Council's intent is the former, then the
Ordinance should be further amended to make that requirement clear. Additionally, staff would
recommend that a procedural framework for how the City will implement this requirement be
incorporated into the Ordinance. For example, the mechanism for ensuring that prospective buyers of
properties on which septic systems exist are made aware that they will be required to connect to the
sanitary sewer within a certain period of time should be specified in the Ordinance. Further, the
maximum (5 year timeframe for phasing out septic systems should be more definitively stated.
A second issue which staff would ask the City Council to reconsider is whether or not the Council
desires to be the body which considers requests for financial hardship exceptions as provided for in
the Ordinance. An alternative would be to have the City Manager or perhaps the Nuisance Abatement
Board of Appeals consider these requests. (The Municipal Code currently provides for a Nuisance
Abatement Board of Appeals to hear appeals of nuisance abatement orders issued by the City. It is
comprised of the City Engineer, Community Development Director and Chief of the Saratoga Fire
District). The drawback to having the City Council hear these requests is that a property owner would
be required to appear at a publicly broadcast meeting and to present rather personal and potentially
embarrassing evidence in support of their plea.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Negligible. Additional staff time will be expended to amend and/or clarify the adopted sewage
disposal Ordinance.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
None at this time. A notice of the amended and /or clarified Ordinance will be published in the
Saratoga News for the next available meeting.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING ON RECOMMENDED MOTION:
The adopted sewage disposal Ordinance would not be amended or clarified and certain
implementation provisions could be subject to varying interpretation and potential challenges.
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS:
An amended sewage disposal Ordinance will be scheduled for introduction at the next regular
City Council meeting.

Variances to this slope reuquirement may be granted by the director where the applicant can
demonstrate, through a technical report and a complete engineering installation plan prepared by a
state registered civil engineer, or a state certified engineering geologist, or a state registered
environmental health specialist that use of a subsurface leaching system will not permit sewage
effluent to surface, or will degrade water quality, create a nuisance, affect soil stability, or present a
threat to the public health or safety. The technical report shall include, but not be limited to. soil
percolation rates, contours, soil depth, seasonal ground water elevation(s), location of all existing or
proposed ground cuts, rock formations, soil stability, drainage, and such other data as determined
by the director and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board having jurisdiction.
Section B11-27 Life extending construction.
(a) Major expansion and/or major intensification of use. Where conustruciition associated with an
existing structure will result in a major expanusion of the structure (greater than 500 cumulative
square feet of all additions) or where such construction will result in a major intensification of the
use of the property, the on -site sewage disposal system shall meet the minimum prevailing sewage
disposal requirements of this code.
(b) Minor expansion. Where construction associated with an existing structure will result in a
minor expansion of the structure (500 cumulative square feet or less of all additions) the director
shall:
(1) Conduct an on -site inspection to determine adequacy and safe functioning of the existing
sewage disposal system.
(2 Require exposure q p and pumping of the existing septic tank except where

document that the tank has been pumped within the last three years: a receipt for service from a
licensed septic tank pumping firm may be considered sufficient documentation.
(3) Determine the location of existing leachlines and identification of area where future
leachline expansion may occur; the septic tank file shall then be updated.
(4) Require improvement and/or expansion of the existing sewage disposal system when. in the
judgement of the director, the system is determined to be inadequate to accept current and /or
projected waste flows. Such determinations are to be made based on size and functioning of the
current system, coupled with slope, soil, hydrological, and related factors. Where inspection results
in a determination that the sewage disposal system is failing, can reasonably be expected to fail or
to contaminate surface or ground waters, the director shall require the replacement or improvement
of the sewage disposal system pursuant to Section B11-11 of this code.
Where improvement and/or expansion of the sewage disposal system is required. but required
repairs cannot be made, the director shall disallow the application.
(c) Remodeling or repair. Where the existing sewage disposal system does not meet requirements
of this chapter, but is functioning safely and cannot be improved, construction shall be limited to
the remodeling or repair (as defined in the Uniform Building Code) of the existing structure
provided:
(1) The construction will not constitute any expansion or intensifiucation of the use of the
property or structure.
(2) Construction will not result in conversion of uninhabitable area(s) such as a garage. deck.
porch, patio. or similar area(s) to habitable area(s).
For purposes of implementing this section, the term "intensification of use" shall mean a change
which may place an additional demand on the sewage disposal system of a property. The
magnitude of the intensification (major or minor) shall be determined by the director.
The'restrictions in this section also apply in the event of accidental or natural damage to a structure,
where no expansion or intensification of use exists.
For purposes of implementing this section, the terms "remodeling" and "repair" are as defined in
the Uniform Building Code which is adopted by reference into the county's building ordinance.

EXECUTIV SUMMARY NO. 3(0?? AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: April 7, 1999 CITY MANAGER
ORIGINATING DEPT: Office of the City Manager
Paula Reeve, Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with CCS Planning and Engineering
to begin Phase I of the Prides Crossing Traffic Study
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Authorize staff to enter into a professional
services agreement with CCS Planning and Engineering to perform several tasks
associated with Phase I of the Prides Crossing Traffic Study.
REPORT SUMMARY:
During the February 2, 1999 meeting, Council approved the concept of entering into a
contract with CCS Planning and Engineering to perform several initial tasks associated
with Phase I of the Prides Crossing Traffic Study. Prior reports to Council and the Public
Safety Commission are included in (Attachment 1). After researching various options,
staff has now determined that Phase I of the Study should consist of the following tasks
listed on the CCS Cost Proposal Summary (Attachment 2) including the Initial Workshop,
Data Gathering, and the Tool Kit.
Initial Workshop
City staff and CCS representatives intend to begin the Study by conducting an initial
workshop to involve the Prides Crossing community in identifying traffic problems and
concerns in their neighborhoods. This approach actively involves residents from the
beginning of the project, and their concerns are immediately acknowledged and recorded.
It also gives staff a starting point to identify the issues and a chance to garner the
residents' trust and cooperation. Issues that are critical to a small number of people will
be weeded out early, since the responsibility for building support rests with the residents
making the initial complaint.
Data Gathering
CCS personnel will then conduct a variety of data collection activities to help define the
problems identified during the workshop. These include such research tools as traffic
counts, radar speed studies, license plate counts, observations, attitudinal and mail -back
surveys to determine the number of neighborhood residents affected, and noise
surveys to determine the number of neighborhood residents affected, and noise
measurements. The recently hired City Traffic Engineer will take an active role in
reviewing and commenting on the data collected by CCS. It is particularly important that
the data collection process occurs before schools let out in June so the statistics accurately
reflect the impact of school related traffic patterns in the area. The data collected may
confirm the problems identified during the initial workshop, and justify proceeding with
Phase H of the Study where another workshop is held with residents as a basis to establish
consensus on the solutions.
The Tool Kit
Phase I of the Study also involves having CCS develop a Tool Kit consisting of traffic
management guidelines specifically tailored for Saratoga. This process leads users directly
to the tools designed to remedy particular problems without having to sift through a large
number of actions and devices. As local interest in Traffic Calming grows, staff
recognizes the need to develop a systematic approach to follow when determining whether
and how future projects should be undertaken
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The combined total for the Initial Workshop, Data Gathering and the Tool Kit as outlined
on the attached CCS spreadsheet is $8,555. Funds to cover this expense are included in
the approved FY 98/99 General Engineering Program Budget under Activity 4013,
Engineering Services Contracts.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Nothing additional.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING:
An agreement would not be entered into with CCS to begin Phase I of the Prides Crossing
Traffic Study as anticipated by staff and the Public Safety Commission. Since extensive
work has already been undertaken to reach this recommendation, and the Public Safety
Commission gave its assurance to support Phase I of the Study, the residents of Prides
Crossing may become discouraged with the City's inability to begin the project.
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS:
Execution of Agreement by City Manager and CCS Traffic and Engineering.

From: Paula Reeve, Analyst
Office of the City Manager
Re: Status Update on Greater Prides Crossing Area Traffic Study and approval to hire
CCS Planning and Engineering
c: The Public Safety Commission
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council directs staff to proceed with developing a contract to have CCS
Planning and Engineering proceed with only the data gathering and Traffic Calming
workbook components of the Greater Prides Crossing Area Traffic Study.
BACKGROUND:
The Task Force presented a recommendation to the Public Safety Commission to accept
proposals from CCS Planning and Engineering and Alternate Street Design to conduct a
Traffic Study of the greater Prides Crossing residential neighborhood at the October 2,
1998 meeting (Attachment 1).
After a lengthy discussion the Public Safety Commission approved the concept of the
Study, but agreed that conducting the entire study would be premature and out of
sequence with the Circulation Element update taking place this year. Therefore, the
Commission recommended working on two components of the Study while the
Circulation Element is being amended, and postponing the remaining tasks in the scope of
work pending completion of the update. These initial tasks include data gathering in the
Prides Crossing area, and developing a Traffic Calming workbook, or standard guidelines
to address similar traffic problems occurring throughout Saratoga.
Panted on recycled paper
Once the update is completed, Prides Crossing would be the prototype for testing the
criteria formulated in the new Circulation Element and the Traffic Calming workbook, or
"tool- kit
At this point, staff is requesting approval from the City Council to develop a contract with
CCS Planning and Engineering to perform the tasks listed above. Prior to securing the
services of CCS Planning and Engineering, however, staff is reconsidering the level of
involvement required of them to complete the work. Staff is exploring two additional
options including: 1) developing the Traffic Calming work book in- house, with final
review /editing performed by CCS Planning and Engineering, and 2) having the new City
Traffic Engineer conduct the data collection with review and analysis by CCS. A final
recommendation regarding the scope and costs of a contract with CCS would then be
brought back to the Council for approval on March 3.

To: Hugh Hexamer, Chair, Public Safety Commission
Public Safety Commission
From: Paula Reeve, Analyst
Office of the City Manager
Subject: Task Force Recommendation Concerning Greater Prides Crossing Area
Traffic Study
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Public Safety Commission recommends that the City Council accept proposals
from CCS Planning and Engineering and Alternate Street Design to conduct a traffic study
of the greater Prides Crossing residential neighborhood.
BACKGROUND:
For several years now, the residents within the Prides Crossing area, and in particular,
residents along Miller Avenue, have voiced their concerns to the City Council and the
Public Safety Commission about traffic problems in their neighborhood. These include:
Cut through and speeding traffic on Miller Avenue, particularly since the opening of
State Route 85.
Vehicle Code violations and congestion resulting from the excessive traffic near the
Christa McAuliffe Elementary School.
Reckless drivers and cut through traffic on Brookglen Drive, due to the configuration
of the street.
In an effort to address and resolve these on -going concerns, staff issued a Request for
Proposals (RFP) for a traffic calming study of the greater Prides Crossing residential
neighborhood in February 1998.
The intent of the Study is to evaluate the actual conditions of traffic speeds and volumes
on streets within the greater Prides Crossing area, evaluate the impacts of traffic control
and calming devices or traffic enforcement including potential or estimated diversion from
one street to another; including along the major arterial streets bordering the
neighborhood, and to recommend end specific traffic calming techniques or other mitigation
measures for specific streets where appropriate. One additional outcome of the Study
will be to develop a set of guidelines for the City to follow when considering future Traffic
Calming projects.
During March 1998, five proposals were received from qualified traffic planning and
engineering consulting firms in response to the RFP. In order to move the process
forward, a task force composed of Councilmember Jim Shaw, Public Safety
Commissioners Frank Lemmon and Fran Andreson, Erman Dorsey and Paula Reeve of
City staff, and two members of the public, Elmer Szanto and Nancy Finnigan, was
convened to review the proposals, recommend a scope of work for the project, and secure
a final proposal from the top ranked firm to perform the recommended scope of work.
PROPOSAL SELECTION
During a series of meetings, the Task Force reviewed and ranked the proposals, agreed
upon a scope of work, and interviewed the most qualified consultants. The Task Force
based its selection on the following evaluation criteria: the consultant's demonstrated
experience and ability to manage similar projects involving municipalities and other
agencies, the quality, amount, and type of services proposed the work plan, and the fee.
After reviewing the proposals, the Committee unanimously agreed the proposal from CCS
Planning Engineering comprehensively addressed the scope of work in the RFP for a
competitive fee. An abbreviated format of the proposal is included in Attachment 1. A
spreadsheet on Page 4 summarizes the tasks, time requirements and the associated fees
totaling $17,285. Several additional factors influencing the Committee's selection of
CCS were the firm having previously completed successful traffic calming and engineering
projects in Saratoga, and having its office located in nearby San Jose.
The proposal of a second firm, Alternate Street Design, was also chosen to compliment
the services of CCS. Traffic Engineer Michael Wallwork, the President of Alternate
Street Design, a Florida based firm, has world -wide experience with traffic calming
projects. Mr. Wallwork has presented impressive local seminars on traffic calming
techniques which several Task Force members have attended. The Task Force concurred
that due to his expertise with traffic calming, Mr. Wallwork's services should be retained
on an hourly basis, up to a maximum of twenty hours, to rovide additional
P expert advice.
At this time, Mr. Wallwork has agreed to work on a retainer basis in conjunction with
CCS to provide the services outlined on Attachment 2 for a fee of $4,200.
The combined total of both the CCS and Alternate Street Design proposals is $21,485.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The estimated cost to complete the work outlined in the two proposals is roughly
$21,485. The City's FY 1998/99 adopted budget contains $25,000 for this study.
SUMMARY
As local interest in Traffic Calming grows, the City recognizes the need to develop a
systematic approach to determine whether and how future Traffic Calming projects in
Saratoga should be undertaken. As mentioned earlier, a very important outcome of the
Prides Crossing Area Traffic Study will be a set of guidelines for the City to follow when
considering future Traffic Calming projects in Saratoga.
The Study, in essence, is a prototype and a valuable opportunity to complete a
comprehensive Study to address specific traffic problems in a large residential section of
the City. The Task Force recommends conducting the entire study. Aside from the initial
data collected by the selected engineering consulting firm, the input from the
neighborhood residents is a vital component to gain a clear understanding of the traffic
problems affecting the Prides Crossing Area.
The matter is now before the Public Safety Commission to recommend to the City Council
whether to proceed with the project, or to suggest some other alternative which the
Commission feels is more appropriate.

Prides Crossing Area Trafc Study Scope of Work
I
Scope of Work
CCS will complete the Traffic Study through the following work tasks.
Task 1 Data Gathering
CCS will lead this task, to include review of available traffic counts and speed data
already collected by the City or residents, and definition of additional data needed.
We will work with area residents to recruit volunteers to collect data, and will
collect the remaining data with consultant staff. This scope and fee assume CCS
will collect machine volume counts at unto three locations (7-day counts), and
peak hour counts at two ca3ions,
This task also includes visits to local traffic generators such as the schools,
churches, or temples, to talk to staff and collect traffic- related information.
Information to be requested will include schedules of events, typical participation,
staff size, locations of parking lots, maps of school districts, and location of
participant residences (zip code only, we will not request street addresses).
A third important component of this task is data collection from the Sheriff and
Fire Departments. Each department will be asked to provide statistics and
information on current response times and routes, and locations of substations that
typically respond to incidents in the Prides Crossing neighborhood.
Deliverables Traffic count and speed data, map of emergency vehicles response routes and
travel times
Task 2 Initial Workshop
Smith E&M staff will lead the initial workshop. The most fundamental purpose of
the initial workshop is to understand the community member's perceptions of the
problem. We understand that not all residents will perceive the problem to have
the same nature, cause or intensity and that several definitions of a problem may be
offered. Another key purpose of the initial workshop is to explain the rules and
process. For example, if the City has objective criteria for installing a speed hump
or a stop sign, these should be made plain up front.
Workshop handouts will be distributed to educate participants and facilitate the
discussion. These handouts will include information sheets on traffic calming
devices with descriptions of the intended uses for each device, and "tool kits" from
other communities showing how traffic calming plans are developed and
implemented. A sample handout from a recent project in Oakland included in our
proposal is incorporated herein by reference. Informational handouts will also be
available to help participants understand traffic calming devices and how they
work.

Prides Crossing Area Traffic Study Scope of Work
A secondary goal of the workshop facilitator is to draw critics and opponents into
the process early. If any Prides Crossing Area residents are opposed to traffic
calming treatments, it is desirable to draw them into the process early and not
allow them to remain silent. A planning process driven solely by traffic calming
activists can result in a plan that draws storms of protest by opponents and leaves
public officials caught in a crossfire. Involvement of opponents early tends to
temper solutions so that what gets proposed as the outcome of the process is likely
to be accepted by a broader segment of the community.
Deliverables Workshop handouts, record of public input
Task 3 Field Workshop
CCS will lead the second workshop which should be held within the Prides
Crossing neighborhood. CCS will present the results of the data collection, a
summary of public input at the initial workshop, emergency vehicle inputs, and a
draft traffic calming plan which will be described as a "straw man" concept to
start the discussion. Residents will be invited to suggest ideas or changes to the
draft plan, and the meeting facilitator will mark all suggestions on a large copy of
the draft plan. All suggestions will be briefly evaluated for effectiveness and for
impact on emergency vehicle response mutes before being included in the draft
plan.
As consensus is reached, CCS staff will adjourn the indoor onion of the meeting
eetrng
and invite interested participants to take part in a field review of individual plan
elements. The review will determine precise locations for each element, and
document if there may be any objectionable parking loss or other concerns.
Deliverables Draft "Straw Man" Plan, Revised Plan, Field Notes
Task 4 Preliminary Report
CCS will lead preparation of the report with significant input from Smith E&M.
The preliminary report will summarize traffic characteristics of the neighborhood,
the proposed traffic calming plan, a discussion of the expected benefits of each
element of the plan, and expected construction costs. Each element of the plan will
be identified with a relative priority, and elements will be grouped into bundles, so
the plan can be constructed in stages. The report will also include a qualitative
assessment of potential traffic impacts on surrounding areas.
A separate chapter of the report will be devoted to emergency vehicle response
routes and times. The recommended plan will be developed to avoid increases in
response times or mandates for route changes. However, if some of the plan
elements result in any potential impacts on emergency vehicle response, this
chapter of the report will fully disclose the impacts. The Preliminary Report will
be presented at a meeting of the Public Safety Commission and one additional

Deliverables Preliminary Report (15 copies plus reproducible. originals)
Task 5 Final Report
CCS will meet with City staff to receive comments received on the preliminary
report and discuss possible revisions. Comments will be incorporated to prepare
the Final Report. Drawings of each element of the plan will be included in a
format suitable to guide construction of the elements. CCS
will present the Final
Report and plan to the City Council. CCS staff will be available to provide as-
needed support to City staff for implementation and follow -up monitoring.
Deliverables Final Report (5 copies plus reproducible originals)
Task 6 Tool Kit
This task will result in development of a traffic calming workbook for application
to any neighborhood in Saratoga. The tool kit will address the RFP statement that
the draft report produced in Task 5 "should discuss the extent to which the
recommendations considered could be applied to address similar traffic problems
throughout the City leading to development to stardpidelines for future traffic
calming efforts."
Elements of the tool kit include:
CA process_4hrough which residents bring concerns to the attention of officials,
matters are studied, alternatives are considered and appropriate actions taken.
It would include procedures for petitions to initiate study efforts, definition of
threshold levels indicating when calming action may be appropriate (see
excerpt from Boulder in our proposal), a process for study of alternatives, and
procedures for assurance that a majority of residents support the proposed
alternative. Templates for petitions and sample community information sheets
would be included.
Specific policy guidelines, standards and warrants for speed humps, and stop
signs on local residential streets.
A community "tool kit" for traffic calming. The "tool kit" is a public
information document that lets residents know what traffic calming resources
are available as well as what constraints and Iimitations there are. It would
include descriptions of the various measures responding to neighborhood
traffic problems, a summary of the situations where each measure works well
and where it works poorly, advantages and trade -offs, illustrations of each
measures, design considerations, specific site location criteria and design
requirements and, if specific conditions are required to authorize employment
of a particular measure, a description of those "warrants The tool kit will
consist of a compilation of relevant materials from other agencies.

2. A Resolution of Intention to order the levy and collection of assessments Fiscal Year 1999-
2000 This is the Resolution required under S &H 22624 which, among other things, fixes the date
and time for the Public (Protest) Hearing on June 2.
There are no significant changes proposed for any of the Zones within the District in FY 99 -00.
However, staff recently bid out the landscape maintenance work in all of the landscape districts, and
the figures for maintenance services in the Engineer's Report will reflect the bid amounts received. In
all cases, these are higher than what the current maintenance costs are. This generally translates into
higher assessments for the landscape districts, yet may not trigger the Prop. 218 balloting process since
several of these Zones authorized an even higher ceiling on their assessments in balloting conducted
over the past few years. Those Zones which will require balloting will be identified at the meeting when
the Engineer's Report is presented. The actual award of the new maintenance contracts will not occur
until June 2, after the close of the public hearing when the final assessment amounts are approved.
Both Resolutions must be adopted by separate vote at your meeting to continue the process of
renewing the District for another year in the time frame called for in the Budget Preparation Calendar.
Fiscal Impacts:
There are no direct fiscal impacts on the City's General Fund from the Landscaping Lighting
Assessment District. All of the costs associated with the District are recovered via the assessments.
Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact:
Nothing additional at this time. After your meeting, the Resolution of Intention will be published and
mailed, along with a separate notice to those property owners subject to the Prop. 218 balloting
process, informing them of the Public Hearing, and which will also include the ballot and balloting
instructions.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions:
The Resolutions would not be adopted and the process for renewing the District would not continue.
Follow Up Actions:
The Resolution of Intention will be published and mailed with the required notices and Proposition 218
ballots to certain property owners.
