CITY OF SARATOGA Exhibits /Attachments: Proposed ordinance. Recommended Action: Adoption of ordinance. AGENDA ITEM <we DEPT.: City Attorney CITY MGR. APPROVAL /1! SUBJECT: Emergency ordinance to regulate street vendors at special events Summary: This ordinance was requested by the Chamber of Commerce, which has experienced difficulties with unregulated street vendors at its annual parade. The ordinance will prohibit any sales on public rights -of -way during the conduct of a special event unless the seller is authorized to engage in such activity by the special event permit and the permittee, as shown by identification cards or other evidence of such authorization. Since the parade is scheduled to occur within the next few weeks, the regulations must be adopted as an emergency ordinance having immediate effect. A permanent amendment to the City Code, containing the same provisions, will be presented to the City Council for adoption at a later date. ORDINANCE NO. AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA PROHIBITING SALES ON PUBLIC RIGHTS -OF -WAY DURING THE CONDUCT OF SPECIAL EVENTS EXCEPT AS AUTHORIZED BY THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT The City Council of the City of Saratoga hereby ordains as follows: SECTION 1: The City Council finds and determines that: (a) The conduct of sales on public rights -of -way constitutes a hazard to vehicular and pedestrian traffic if not regulated through the issuance of a permit controlling the time, place and manner of engaging in such activity. (b) Community festivals and parades conducted pursuant to a special event permit issued by the City have been disrupted by the activities of street vendors operating without the consent of the City or the permittee. These unregulated vendors present a threat to the safe and orderly conduct of the event and may frustrate the conditions imposed by the City to achieve these objectives. (c) The City has issued a permit for a major community event to be conducted within the near future and unless the activities of street vendors are regulated by and conducted in accordance with the terms of said permit, such activities may interfere with and disrupt the event and constitute a hazard to the public health, safety and welfare. An emergency ordinance is therefore required, pending the adoption of further regulations. SECTION 2: No person shall sell or offer for sale on public streets, sidewalks or rights -of -way any goods, wares or merchandise from vehicles, wagons, pushcarts, stalls, booths or other methods, during or in connection with a special event for which a permit has been granted under Article 10 -10 of the City Code, unless such sales activity is conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the special event permit and with the authorization of the permittee. The holder of the special event permit shall issue to each person authorized to engage in sales on public streets, sidewalks and rights -of -way an identification card or other evidence of such authorization, which shall be displayed by such person to any law enforcement officer of the City or to any representative of the permittee requesting to inspect the same. SECTION 3: This Ordinance is an emergency measure expressly declared to be for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare, and shall take effect immediately. s s Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Saratoga held on the 3rd day of September, 1986, by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: ATTEST: CITY CLERK MAYOR AGENDA BILL NO. AGENDA ITEM FD DATE: August 25, 1986 DEPT.: CITY OF SARATOGA City Attorney CITY MGR. APPROVAL SUBJECT: Garbage Collection Service Modification of Franchise Agreement and City Code pertaining to mandatory service and utilization of liens and special assessments to collect delinquent accounts Summary: As described in the memorandum from the City Attorney submitted herewith, the proposed ordinance and amendment to the franchise agreement with Green Valley will eliminate mandatory garbage collection service and substitute in place thereof the requirement for a refundable security deposit to be collected by Green Valley upon the commencement of service for a new account or reinstatement of service upon payment of a delinquent account. With respect to any charges for services rendered or to be rendered from and after June 1, 1986, Green Valley may terminate service if such charges are not paid within 30 days after the same become due. The delinquent charges relating to services rendered prior to June 1, 1986, will continue to be collected through the existing lien and special assessment procedures. Fiscal Impacts: It is anticipated that the elimination of City involvement in the collection of delinquent accounts owed to Green Valley will result in economic savings in the form of reduced staff time and legal time currently being spent on these matters. The administrative fees received by the City have not covered the cost of the existing procedures. Exhibits /Attachments: (a) Memorandum from City Attorney. (b) Proposed ordinance. (c) Proposed amendment to franchise agreement. Recommended Action: (a) Introduction and adoption of ordinance. (b) Approval of amendment to franchise agreement and authorization of Mayor and City Clerk to execute the same. Council Action: Introduced ordi.nance 9/3, and approved franchise agreement amendment. Adopted Ordinance 71.6 9/17. 5 PAUL B. SMITH ERIC L. FARASYN LEONARD J. SIEGAL HAROLD S. TOPPEL GREGORY A. MANCHUK STEVEN G. BAIRD DATE: August 25, 1986 ATKINSON FARASYN ATTORNEYS AT LAW 660 WEST DANA STREET P.O. BOX 279 MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA 94042 (415) 967 -6941 MEMORANDUM J. M. ATKINSON, (1892 -1982) L. M. FARASYN, (1915 -1979) TO: Saratoga City Council FROM: Harold S. Toppel, City Attorney RE: Garbage Collection Service Modification of Franchise Agreement and City Code Pertaining to Mandatory Service and Collection of Delinquent Accounts At its regular meeting on July 16, 1986, the Council unanimously approved a proposal by Green Valley Disposal Company to dispense with the mandatory service requirement and the entire process of liens and special assessments for collection of delinquent charges. Instead, Green Valley would simply collect a security deposit upon the commencement of service for a new account or reinstatement of service for a delinquent account. The security deposit would be in an amount equal to the charges for one quarterly billing cycle, based upon the type and level of service requested by the customer. The deposit would be refunded to the customer, without interest, after the expiration of one year if no delinquency has occurred within such period of time, or upon any earlier cancellation of service by the customer. Based upon our experience with the mandatory service and the existing collection procedures, the proposal is strongly endorsed by the City staff (particularly the Director of Community Services and the City Attorney). Submitted herewith is a proposed ordinance amending Article 7 -05 of the City Code and a proposed Amendment to the Franchise Agreement between the City and Green Valley. Under the terms of the ordinance, mandatory service will no longer be imposed as of September 1, 1986. Correspondingly, Green Valley will be entitled to terminate garbage collection service for nonpayment of the charges within 30 days after the same become due. The City and Green Valley have agreed to implement the changes in the collection procedures as of June 1, 1986. Upon execution of the Amendment to the Franchise Agreement, Green Valley would be entitled to terminate service for delinquencies during the billing cycle of June 1986 through August 1986 by giving notice of termination to the customer. Thereafter, the service would not be reinstated until the customer has paid all amounts owed to Green Valley, including late charges and a reinstatement fee of $5, plus the security deposit. The City is continuing to process numerous liens for delinquent charges relating to services rendered by Green Valley prior to June 1, 1986. Consequently, all of the existing provisions in Article 7 -05 pertaining to liens and special assessments must remain in the City Code until these accounts have been collected or otherwise closed. It should be noted that Green Valley is not entitled to terminate service on delinquent accounts being collected through the lien and special assessment procedures. On the other hand, if service is terminated for nonpayment of charges accruing after June 1, 1986, and the same customer has also failed to pay any charges for an earlier billing cycle, Green Valley is not obligated to reinstate service until all of the delinquent charges have been paid, including the charges for services rendered prior to June 1, 1986. ORDINANCE NO. 71.7 11A N AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA AMENDING ARTICLE 7-05 IN CHAPTER 7 OF THE CITY CODE, RELATING TO GARBAGE DISPOSAL, TO REPEAL THE MANDATORY REQUIREMENT FOR GARBAGE COLLECTION SERVICE AND TO IMPOSE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A SECURITY DEPOSIT UPON THE COMMENCEMENT OR REINSTATEMENT OF SERVICE The City Council of the City of Saratoga hereby ordains as follows: SECTION 1: Section 7- 05.030 in Article 7 -05 is amended to read as follows: "S7 -05.030 Mandatory garbage collection services; owner responsibility The owner of each occupied residential or commercial premises shall subscribe to and pay for at least the minimum level of garbage collection service made available to that premises by the Garbage Collector, as specified in the franchise agreement between the City and the Garbage Collector executed pursuant to Section 7- 05.110. The charges for garbage collection service rendered or made available shall be paid for all periods of time during which the premises are occupied, regardless of whether or not the owner or tenant has any garbage to be collected on any particular collection date during such occupancy. Nothing in this Section is intended to prevent an arrangement, or the continuance of an arrangement, under which payments for garbage collection service are made by .a tenant or tenants, or any agent or other person, on behalf of the owner. However, any such arrangement will not affect the owner's obligation to pay for garbage collection service as provided herein.

CITY CLERK -5- MAYOR AMENDMENT TO FRANCHISE AGREEMENT AGREEMENT, Made this 3rd day of September, 1986, by and between the CITY OF SARATOGA, a municipal corporation "City and GREEN VALLEY DISPOSAL COMPANY, INC., a California corporation "Green Valley WITNESSETH: City and Green Valley entered into a written Franchise Agreement dated March 8, 1983 (the "Franchise Agreement The Franchise Agreement was amended by a written amendment thereto dated May 2, 1984, which provided, among other things, for the establishment of mandatory garbage collection service and the collection of delinquent accounts through imposition of liens and special assessments against the properties for which service was rendered or made available. The mandatory service and collection of delinquent accounts through liens and special assessments have not generated the additional revenue as expected, but instead have resulted in increased costs and staff time on the part of both City and Green Valley. The parties have mutually agreed to eliminate mandatory service and the existing method of collecting delinquent accounts and to substitute therefor a requirement for payment of a security deposit prior to the commencement or reinstatement of garbage collection service, as hereinafter set forth. NOW, THEREFORE, City and Green Valley agree as follows: 1. Green Valley may terminate garbage collection service in the event any charges owed to Green Valley for services rendered or to be rendered from and after June 1, 1986, are not paid within thirty (30) days after the same become due. At least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of termination shall be delivered by Green Valley to the customer shown on its books and records. Green Valley shall not be obligated to reinstate garbage collection service for such customer until it has received payment in full of all delinquent charges and late charges owed by such customer, including any charges accruing prior to June 1, 1986, together with a reinstatement fee in the sum of Five Dollars ($5.00) and a security deposit in an amount determined according to the provisions of Paragraph 3 of this Agreement. 2. With respect to any new account established from and after September 1, 1986, Green Valley shall not be obligated to provide garbage collection service until it has received from the customer a security deposit in an amount determined according to the provisions of Paragraph 3 of this Agreement. 3. The amount of security deposit to be collected by Green Valley upon the reinstatement of service for a previously delinquent account or the commencement of service for a new account shall be equal to the charges that will accrue during a single quarterly billing cycle for the type and level of service requested by the customer, based upon the rates and charges established by Green Valley and approved by City as of the time the security deposit is collected. 4. Upon any nonpayment of garbage collection charges by a customer from whom a security deposit has been collected, Green Valley may apply such deposit toward payment of the delinquent charges. Green Valley shall thereupon give written notice of such action to the customer which shall include a demand for the security deposit, or such portion thereof as may have been utilized for payment of the delinquent charges, to be restored to its original amount within fifteen (15) days from delivery of the notice. If the customer fails to restore the security deposit within the time provided in the notice, Green Valley may thereafter terminate the garbage collection service for such customer. 5. The security deposit collected by Green Valley shall be refunded, without interest, to the customer or the person legally entitled thereto under either of the following circumstances: (a) Cancellation of garbage collection service by the customer, with all charges owed to Green Valley for services rendered to the date of cancellation having been paid in full; or (b) The expiration of one (1) year from the date the security deposit was collected if, during such year, no delinquency has occurred in payment of the charges owed to Green Valley. 6. City shall amend Article 7 -05 in Chapter 7 of the City Code to correspond with the provisions of this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall affect or impair the liens and special assessments imposed, or to be imposed, for delinquent garbage collection charges pertaining to services rendered by Green Valley prior to June 1, 1986, and such liens and special assessments shall remain in full force and effect. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement the day and year first above written.

APPROVAL Recommended Action: Council Action: Approved. CITY OF SARATOGA AGENDA ITEM SUBJECT: Approval of Settlement Agreements Pertaining to Cocciardi Litigation and Quarry Creek /Quarry Road Repair Project Summary: The settlement agreements will resolve all pending litigation relating to final map approval for SD- 1356%(Cocciardi /Mt. Eden Estates Subdivision) and SD- 1368 (Cocciardi /Chadwick Subdivission), and all claims asserted or threatened against the City relating to Quarry Road and Quarry Creek, as described in the memorandum from the City Attorney submitted herewith. Fiscal Impacts: As part of the settlement agreements, the City will waive its right to reimbursement by Cocciardi for $23,000 of engineering fees previously advanced and will also waive all permit and inspection fees relating to the Quarry Creek /Quarry Road Repair Project. However, such waivers will be more than offset by the subdivision fees to be collected upon the granting of final map approval for SD- 1356 and SD -1368 and the benefits to the City derived from the release of claims and dismisssal of pending lawsuits by the parties to the settlement agreements.

BAIRD ATKINSON FARASYN ATTORNEYS AT LAW 660 WEST DANA STREET P.O. BOX 279 MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA 94042 (415) 967 -6941 MEMORANDUM TO: Saratoga City Council FROM: Harold S. Toppel, City Attorney RE: Approval of Settlement Agreements Cocciardi Litigation and Quarry Creek /Quarry Road Repair Project DATE: August 25, 1986 Two related settlement agreements are being presented to the Council for approval which have been the subject of extended discussion over the last couple of years. The first agreement is a Stipulation for Settlement of the pending litigation commenced by Cocciardi and Chadwick, which represent the last remaining Measure A lawsuits. The basic form• of the stipulation is the same as the prior settlement agreements executed with the other Measure A litigants such as Parnas, McBain Gibbs, DeMartini, Teerlink, etc. In exchange for the granting by City of final map approval on SD -1356 (Mt. Eden Estates Subdivision) and SD -1368 (Cocciardi /Chadwick Subdivision) for the number of lots as shown on the original tentative maps, the developers have agreed to make a substantial contribution toward the Quarry Road /Quarry Creek Repair Project in the amount of $527,800. In addition, the developers shall be responsible for the actual performance of the repair work and payment of any cost overruns. The settlement agreement does not reduce or modify the dedications or exactions originally imposed on these developers, as set forth in the tentative map approvals. The second agreement is intended to implement the settlement negotiated by the City with all of the parties involved in the Quarry Creek /Quarry Road Repair Project. The council has received copies of my earlier correspondence to these parties and I assume you have followed the progress of the negotiations as they transpired. Under the terms of the settlement, each of the 15 property owners on Vaquero Court, Quarry Road and Old Oak Way will contribute the sum of $21,250 toward the cost of the repair project. The City has previously advanced approximately $23,000 for engineering services performed during the early stages of the discussions, and although Cocciardi was originally obligated to reimburse the City for this expense at the time of receiving final map approval, the Council agreed to waive such reimbursement when additional funds were required from Cocciardi to cover a substantial increase in the total project cost. In addition to this $23,000 contribution from the City itself, $50,000 will collectively be contributed toward the project by the City's insurance J. M. ATKINSON, (1892 -1982) L. M. FARASYN, (1915 -1979) carriers, for a total contribution on behalf of the City in the sum of $73,000. The remaining project cost, in the amount of approximately $527,800 will be paid by the Cocciardi group. As described in my correspondence to the parties and the settlement agreement, a trust account has been established by the City at Pacific Valley Bank for deposit of the contributions from the Vaquero Court, Quarry Road and Old Oak Way property owners and from the City's insurance carriers. As of the date of this memorandum, approximately $140,000 has been deposited into this account. I will provide the Council with an updated report at your meeting. The settlement agreement is being circulated to all of the affected parties for review and approval by their respective attorneys or insurance carriers. In view of the natural tendency of lawyers to request some change to a written document (as tangible evidence of services furnished to justify statements rendered), it is quite possible a revised draft of the agreement will be generated following the review process. I am therefore requesting the Council to approve the form and substance of the agreement, with the understanding that minor changes in language which do not affect the obligations of the parties can be made without further action by the Council. In other words, the final execution draft of the agreement must be substantially the same as the proposed draft or else the agreement must be resubmitted to the Council for approval. Although the construction season is rapidly diminishing, every effort is still being made to accomplish the repair project this year. After years of discussion, some of which being quite acrimonious, all of the pieces are finally beginning to fall into place. However, we still have several loose ends to be handled and I will be submitting further reports to the Council as these matters are addressed.

Resolution for adoption with list of 1986 assessments. Recommended Action: 1. Conduct public hearing to consider any protests. 2. Close public hearing and adopt resolution. SUBJECT:Confirmation of Report and Assessment of Weed Abatement Charges Summary: Under State and local laws, the County and cities routinely abate the seasonal fire hazards of weed growth on undeveloped property. For the County and nine cities, including Saratoga, this weed abatement program is administered by the County Building Official. In many cases, property owners find it convenient to have government take care of weed removal and to pay through a property tax lien. This past year, the County Building Official had weed abatement performed on 111 parcels in Saratoga at a total cost of $24,779.31. Tax liens and assessments upon the owners of these parcels range from a high of $1,012.77 to a low of $7.92. The average assessment is $223.24. In order to recover this cost, it is necessary for the Council to adopt a resolution confirming the assessments and directing the County Auditor to enter and collect the assessments on the property tax bill. Fiscal Impacts: None upon City if assessments are levied. City may be liable for work performed by contractor for any assessments not levied. WHEREAS, at a regular meeting held on September 3, 1986, the Building Official of Santa Clara County submitted a report to this City Council consisting of all unpaid bills for weed abatement expenses and a proposed assessment list, and the parcels against which said expenses, including applicable administrative and collection costs are to be assessed, all pursuant to Article II, Ch. 6 of the Saraoga City Code, and WHEREAS, the City Council, having heard said report and all objections thereto, and the Council, finding that no modifications need to be made to any of said assessments. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the 1986 Weed Abatement Assessments Report, City of Saratoga, prepared by the Building Official of Santa Clara County, which report is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference, be and hereby is confirmed. Each of said parcels as shown on the attached Exhibit "A" is declared to have a lien against it in the amount set opposite said parcel number in the last column thereof; and the Santa Clara County Auditor is hereby directed to enter the amounts of said assessments against the respective parcels of land on the County Tax Roll, and to collect the same at the time and in the manner as general municipal property taxes are collected. A certified copy of this resolution and assessments shall be filed with the Santa Clara County Auditor. The above and foregoing resolution was passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Saratoga City Council held on the 3rd day of September, 1986, by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ATTEST: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA CONFIRMING REPORT AND ASSESSMENT OF WEED ABATEMENT CHARGES Deputy City Clerk RESOLUTION NO.
