REPORT SUMMARY California government code section 41004 requires that the City Treasurer (the Municipal Code of the City of Saratoga, Article 2-20, Section 2-20.035, designates the City Manager as the City Treasurer) submit to the City Clerk and the legislative body a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances. Section 41004. Regularly, at least once each month, the City Treasurer shall submit to the City Clerk a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances. He shall file a copy with the legislative body. The following attachments provide various financial transaction data for the City of Saratoga’s Funds collectively as well as specifically for the City’s General (Operating) Fund, including an attachment from the State Treasurer’s Office of Quarterly LAIF rates from the 1st Quarter of 1977 to present. FISCAL IMPACT Cash and Investments Balance by Fund As of February 28, 2011, the City had $169,977 in cash deposit at Comerica bank, and $13,449,896 on deposit with LAIF. Council Policy on operating reserve funds, adopted on April 20, 1994, states that: for cash flow purposes, to avoid occurrence of dry period financing, pooled cash from all funds should not be allowed to fall below $2,000,000. The total pooled cash balance as of February 28, 2011 is $13,619,873 and exceeds the minimum limit required. Unrestricted Cash Comerica Bank $ 169,977 Deposit with LAIF $ 13,449,896 Total Unrestricted Cash $ 1 3,619,873 Cash Summary 50 The Fund Balance schedule presented on the following page represents actual funding available for all funds at the end of the monthly period. This amount differs from the above Cash Summary schedule as assets and liabilities are components of the fund balance. As illustrated in the summary below, Total Unrestricted Cash is adjusted by the addition of Total Assets less the amount of Total Liabilities to arrive at the Ending Fund Balance – which represents the actual amount of funds available. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION The City would not be in compliance with Government Code Section 41004.

DATE: March 16, 2011 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Barbara Powell DIRECTOR: Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Approval of Agency Agreement for Countywide AB 939 Implementation Fee RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept report, and authorize the City Manager to approve the Agency Agreement with the County of Santa Clara for the Countywide AB 939 Implementation Fee. BACKGROUND: To comply with state law and local needs, the County of Santa Clara and fourteen cities cooperated in the creation of a Household Hazardous Waste ((HHW) Program. Since 1992, all cities except for the City of Palo Alto have contracted with the County to provide HHW services through an Agency Agreement for Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program. The Agreement authorizes the County to collect and distribute a fee --collected at landfills, nondisposal facilities and transfer stations located in Santa Clara County --on each ton of waste brought to the facilities. The fee is then separated and distributed as follows: 1. A Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Fee, distributed to the County to implement the Countywide HHW Program; and 2. A Program Fee, distributed to the cities to implement measures related to AB 939, which requires the reduction of landfilled waste. Each jurisdiction contracts with the County for collection and distribution of AB 939 funds. Therefore, all fourteen cities must approve the Agency Agreement for Countywide AB 939 Implementation Fees by June 30, 2011. If one or more jurisdictions do not approve this agreement, the AB 939 fee would not be collected after June 30, 2011. The proposed agreement includes an AB 939 Implementation Fee of $4.10 per ton, which is the same as the 2010-11 fee. FISCAL IMPACTS: There is no direct financial impact to the City of Saratoga as a consequence of approving this Agreement, since the AB 939 fees are assessed on tonnage brought to landfills, non-disposal facilities and transfer stations. 55 Page 2 of 2 CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The Agreement for the Countywide AB 939 Implementation Fee would not be approved and the fee would not be collected after June 30, 2011. ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): N/A FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): Implement Council direction. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Pursuant to Government Code 54954.2, this item was properly posted as a City Council agenda item and was included in the packet made available on the City’s website in advance of the meeting. A copy of the agenda packet is also made available at the Saratoga Branch Library each Monday in advance of the Council meeting. ATTACHMENTS: Agreement 56 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE FY 2012 1 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE This Agreement is made by and among the Cities and Towns of Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Morgan Hill, Monte Sereno, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga, and Sunnyvale (CITIES) and the County of Santa Clara (COUNTY) on the _________ day of ____________ 2011. The term CITIES may refer to CITIES collectively or individually. RECITALS WHEREAS, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 41901, a city, county, or city and county may impose fees in amounts sufficient to pay the costs of preparing, adopting, and implementing an integrated waste management plan; and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors established the Countywide AB939 Implementation Fee effective July 1, 1992 to fund local costs of preparing, adopting, and implementing integrated waste management plans and programs; and WHEREAS, the Recycling and Waste Reduction Commission of Santa Clara County has determined that a Countywide AB939 Implementation Fee (Fee) is necessary, pursuant to Public Resource Code 41901, to assist in funding the costs of preparing, adopting and implementing integrated waste management plans and programs in the fifteen cities and the unincorporated area of the county; and WHEREAS, the Fee shall be imposed on each ton of waste landfilled or incinerated within the County; received at any non-disposal or collection facility located within the County and subsequently transported for disposal or incineration outside of the County; collected from any location within the County by a solid waste hauler operating pursuant to a franchise, contract, license, or permit issued by any local jurisdiction and subsequently transported for disposal or incineration outside of the County; or removed from any location in the County by any person or business for disposal or incineration outside the County; and WHEREAS, state law requires jurisdictions to plan and implement household hazardous waste (HHW) services; and WHEREAS, HHW programs provide household hazardous waste management services to residents of Santa Clara County and are necessary services to enable jurisdictions to meet the requirements of state law; and WHEREAS, jurisdictions in Santa Clara County desire to provide safe, convenient, and economical means for residents to properly dispose of household hazardous wastes in an environmentally safe manner in order to avoid unauthorized or improper disposal in the garbage, sanitary sewer, storm drain system, or on the ground, in a manner which creates a health or environmental hazard. These wastes include, but are not limited to, common household products such as household cleaning products, spot remover, furniture polish, solvents, oven cleaner, pesticides, oil based paints, motor oil, antifreeze, fluorescent lamps, and car batteries; and 57 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE FY 2012 2 WHEREAS, the County will collect the Fee on behalf of the fifteen cities and the unincorporated area and will apportion the Fee according to the terms of this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, CITIES and COUNTY AGREE AS FOLLOWS: 1. PURPOSE The purpose of this Agreement is to state the terms and conditions under which the COUNTY will collect and distribute the Fee of $4.10 per ton in FY 2012 of waste to be disposed. The Fee is divided into two parts: 1) a Program Fee of $1.50 per ton to assist in funding the costs of preparing, adopting, and implementing the integrated waste management plan in the fifteen cities and the unincorporated area of the County; and 2) a HHW Fee of $2.60 per ton to provide funding to implement the Countywide HHW Program. The Program Fee will be allocated among jurisdictions as described in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein. The HHW Fee will be allocated to the COUNTY, CITIES, and Countywide HHW Program and and participating jurisdictions as described in Exhibit C, attached hereto and incorporated herein. The Fee shall be imposed on each ton of waste landfilled or incinerated within the County; received at any non-disposal or collection facility located within the County and subsequently transported for disposal or incineration outside of the County; collected from any location within the County by a solid waste hauler operating pursuant to a franchise, contract, license, or permit issued by any local jurisdiction and subsequently transported for disposal or incineration outside of the County; or removed from any location in the County by any person or business for disposal or incineration outside the County. Non-Disposal Facilities are defined as those facilities included in the County of Santa Clara Non-Disposal Facility Element (and subsequent amendments to that Element) and are listed in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein. 2. SERVICES PROVIDED BY COUNTY COUNTY will collect and distribute the Fee. COUNTY will collect the Fee from landfills and non-disposal facilities listed in Exhibit A, and any landfill or non-disposal facility subsequently permitted, on a quarterly basis using data from tonnage reports filed by landfill and non-disposal facility operators with the County Integrated Waste Management Division. The COUNTY shall require each landfill and non-disposal facility to submit required payment, documentation of tonnages disposed, and state-mandated Disposal Reporting System Reports on a quarterly basis, within 45 days of the end of each calendar quarter. Late submissions and/or payments shall be subject to a late filing penalty and delinquent penalties. COUNTY will research Santa Clara County tonnage reported to COUNTY by landfills outside the COUNTY in significant amounts to determine the identity of the hauler. That hauler will subsequently be billed in the same fashion subject to the same penalties as mentioned above. Collected funds and any late filing payments and delinquency penalties shall be distributed to CITIES and Countywide HHW Program based on the formula set forth in Exhibits B and C. COUNTY shall not be obligated to distribute funds that COUNTY has been unable to collect from landfill or non-disposal facility operators. ////58 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE FY 2012 3 3. ROLE OF CITIES CITIES shall review the Disposal Reporting System Reports as prepared and submitted by the COUNTY and within 30 days of receipt shall report to COUNTY, with appropriate documentation, errors in waste allocations among jurisdictions. 4. COLLECTION AND USE OF FEE Each ton of waste will be subject to the Fee. Best efforts will be made to prevent tonnage from being assessed a double fee (once at a non-disposal facility and again at a landfill within Santa Clara County). The Program Fee funding share paid to CITIES shall be used to assist in funding the costs of preparing, adopting, and implementing the integrated waste management plan of each of the CITIES and the unincorporated area of the COUNTY. The HHW Fee portion shall assist in funding the costs of each city's share of HHW operations. 5. INSURANCE Each party shall maintain its own insurance coverage, through third party insurance, selfinsurance or a combination thereof, against any claim, expense, cost, damage or liability arising out of the performance of its responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement. CITIES agree to provide evidence of such insurance to COUNTY via Certificate of Insurance or other documentation acceptable to the COUNTY upon request. 6. INDEMNIFICATION In lieu of and not withstanding the pro rata risk allocation which might otherwise be imposed between CITIES and COUNTY pursuant to Government Code Section 895.6, the parties agree that all losses or liabilities incurred by a party shall not be shared pro rata but instead the parties agree that each of the parties hereto shall fully indemnify and hold each of the other parties harmless from any claim, expense or cost, damage or liability arising out of, or in connection with, performance of its responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement. Additionally, CITIES shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend COUNTY, its officers, agents, and employees with respect to any loss, damage, liability, cost or expenses, expenses, including attorney fees and court costs, arising from any misuse of the Fee distributed to CITIES. COUNTY shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend CITIES, its officers, agents, and employees with respect to any loss, damage, liability, cost or expenses, including attorney fees and court costs, brought by third parties based on COUNTY's sole negligence in the collection or distribution of said Fees. 7. DISTRIBUTION OF FEE COUNTY shall distribute the Fee to CITIES and the Countywide HHW Program pursuant to the formulas described in Exhibits B and C within 45 days of receipt of landfill and nondisposal facility payments and disposal documentation required for calculation of Fee 59 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE FY 2012 4 distribution amounts. Distributions shall begin December 15, 2011, and continue quarterly through October 15, 2012. 8. PARTICIPATION IN THE COUNTYWIDE HHW PROGRAM CITIES, at their option, may individually participate in the Countywide HHW Program by entering into the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM. Regardless of whether CITIES enter into the Agreement, CITIES's share of funds collected for Abandoned Waste Disposal Costs will be paid directly to the Countywide HHW Program as described in Exhibit C, Section 3. 9. LATE PAYMENTS If Fee payments and disposal documentation are not received from landfill or non-disposal facility operators prior to scheduled distribution of payments to CITIES and the Countywide HHW Program, payment distribution shall be calculated on a pro rata share of moneys received. Upon collection, late payments and accrued delinquent penalties, if any, shall be distributed among CITIES and the Countywide HHW Program according to the formula in Exhibits B and C. 10. ACCOUNTING COUNTY shall maintain records of all transactions related to collection, use and distribution of the Fee for at least five (5) years after the termination date of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by law to retain such records for a longer period. Such records will be available for inspection upon written request by CITIES, and will include but not be limited to tonnage reports submitted by landfills and non-disposal facilities, waste stream documentation provided by cities, payments made by the landfills and non-disposal facilities to the COUNTY and by the COUNTY to CITIES, and expenditures for programmatic and overhead costs. 11. REQUEST FOR REVIEW In the event CITIES have a dispute regarding the calculation of its share of the Fee or the distribution or use of the Fee, CITIES may request in writing a review by COUNTY within 10 days of receipt of their Fee allocation. The review shall be performed within 30 days of request and results shall be reported to CITIES in writing. 12. EFFECTIVE DATE OF AGREEMENT This agreement is effective upon approval by all fifteen CITIES and the COUNTY. 13. AMENDMENT This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument signed by all fifteen CITIES and the COUNTY. 60 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE FY 2012 5 14.

Fees collected from undocumented disposed tonnage, or tonnage originating outside of Santa Clara County, will be distributed according to each jurisdiction’s percent of countywide population, according to the latest available population report issued by the California Department of Finance. 64 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE FY 2012 9 EXHIBIT C COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM FEE (HHW Fee) 1. PROGRAM FUNDING SOURCE HHW Program services are directly mandated under AB939, which establishes statutory authority to provide for funding to support planning and implementation of integrated waste management programs. The HHW Fee, $2.60 per ton in FY 2012, collected as part of the AB939 Implementation Fee, will be the primary source of funding for Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program (CoHHW Program) services. Funds derived from the HHW Fee will be allocated among four types of CoHHW Program service costs as follows: A. Fixed Program Costs will be apportioned based on the number of households in each participating jurisdiction. The number of households will be determined at the beginning of each Fiscal Year by statistics compiled by the California Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit from their most recent Report, “Population Estimates for California Cities and Counties.” B. Abandoned Waste Disposal Costs will fund disposal of HHW illegally abandoned at nonprofit charitable reuse organizations. The existing fund balance from previous years will fund the Abandoned Wastes Disposal Costs for FY 2012. C. Variable Cost Per Car to provide a base level service to 4% of households in all participating jurisdictions. The number of households is determined by the most recent “Population Estimates for California Cities and Counties” Report as published by the California Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit. D. Available Discretionary Funding funded on tonnage generated per participating jurisdiction. 2. FIXED PROGRAM COST Funds shall be distributed on a per household basis for Fixed Program Costs. This portion of the funds shall be distributed directly to the Countywide HHW Program. Fixed Program Costs funding shall be calculated at $1.85 per household in FY 2012. Fixed Program Costs may include, but are not limited to eight (8) CoHHW Program staff members, facility leasing costs, vehicle lease costs, office rent, office supplies, county administrative overhead, county legal counsel, training costs, equipment and facility maintenance, and union negotiated salary and benefit increases. 65 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE FY 2012 10 3. ABANDONED WASTE DISPOSAL COST The existing unexpended abandoned waste fund balance of $95,000 will fund disposal of HHW illegally abandoned at nonprofit charitable reuse organizations for FY 2012. Therefore it is not necessary to apportion any of the Fee for FY 2012 for abandoned waste disposal costs. All jurisdictions throughout the COUNTY contribute to this cost including jurisdictions not participating in the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM. For the purposes of this agreement, PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE SECTION 41904 defines a nonprofit charitable reuse organization as follows: "Nonprofit charitable reuser" means a charitable organization, as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the federal Internal Revenue Code, or a distinct operating unit or division of the charitable organization, that reuses and recycles donated goods or materials and receives more than 50 percent of its revenues from the handling and sale of those donated goods or materials. 4. VARIABLE COST PER CAR The Variable Cost Per Car is the cost associated with actual labor, waste disposal, transportation and other services provided to the residents at the County HHW Collection Facilities and Temporary Events. This portion of the funds shall be distributed directly to the Countywide HHW Program. The Variable Cost Per Car is estimated to be $67 per car for Fiscal Year 2012. The estimated cost per car will be adjusted annually to reflect actual service costs. After fixed costs are allocated on a per household basis, the variable cost per car will be used to calculate the costs to service 4% of households across all participating jurisdictions. If the level of 4% of households is not reached, the Countywide HHW Program will use the remaining balance of funds, in cooperation with the CITIES, to increase public outreach and/or provide additional services in that jurisdiction where the level of 4% is not reached the following year. 6. AVAILABLE AVAILABLE DISCRETIONARY FUNDING The Available Discretionary Funding portion will be allocated based on the tons of waste generated within each jurisdiction and after allocation of fixed program cost and variable per car cost. Available Discretionary Funds will be paid as directed by each jurisdiction. Available Discretionary Funds must be used for HHW purposes. Options for how to spend these funds include, but are not limited to, increasing the number of residents served in the jurisdiction by the Countywide HHW Program, subsidizing curbside used motor oil collection, universal waste collection, emergency HHW services, funding HHW public education, or providing special programs such as door-to-door collection of HHW for the elderly and/or persons with disabilities and neighborhood clean-up events. 7. PROGRAM FUNDING PASS-THROUGH Annual funding calculations include HHW Fees collected on behalf of all County jurisdictions. CITIES, at their option, may participate in the Countywide HHW Program by entering into into the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM. CITIES not participating in the Agency Agreement will receive 66 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE FY 2012 11 their pro-rata share of funding received by the COUNTY from the HHW Fee, with the exception of funds for the abandoned waste cost, described above. If CITIES not participating in the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM desire to permit residents to participate in HHW Program services on an emergency basis, then services to these residents will be provided on a cost recovery basis. A charge equal to the established rates charged by the Countywide HHW Program to Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators will be billed to the CITIES. A CITIES' representative must call the Countywide HHW Program appointment line to schedule an appointment for the resident. The pro-rata share of liability will be shared as defined in Section 28 of AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM and as described in Exhibit D. 67 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE FY 2012 12 EXHIBIT D SECTION 28 OF AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFICATION In lieu of and not withstanding the pro rata risk allocation which might otherwise be imposed between CITY and COUNTY pursuant to Government Code Section 895.6, the parties agree that all losses or liabilities incurred by a party shall not be shared pro rata but instead COUNTY and CITY agree that pursuant to Government Code Section 895.4, each of the parties hereto shall fully indemnify and hold each of the other parties, their officers, board members, employees and agents, harmless from any claim, expense or cost, damage or liability imposed for injury (as defined by Government Code Section 810.8) occurring by reason of the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of the indemnifying party, its officers, employees or agents, under or in connection with or arising out of any work, authority or jurisdiction delegated to such party under this Agreement. No party, nor any officer, board member, employee or agent thereof shall be responsible for any damage or liability occurring by reason of the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of the other parties hereto, their officers, board members, employees or agents, under or in connection with or arising out of any work authority or jurisdiction delegated to such other parties under this Agreement. Additionally, CITY shall indemnify COUNTY for CITY's apportioned share of any liability incurred and attributed to the Countywide HHW Program for the transportation, treatment, or disposal of the household hazardous waste, once the waste has been accepted by a licensed hazardous waste hauler. Apportionment for disposal liability shall be determined by each participating jurisdiction’s pro rata proportion of household participation in the Program. Apportionment for transportation and treatment liability shall be determined by each participating jurisdiction’s pro rata household participation at the event where the waste was generated. COUNTY will use reasonable efforts to obtain recovery from all available resources, including insurance, of any liable hauler or liable disposal facility operator. No liability shall be apportioned to CITY for transportation, treatment or disposal in any case where COUNTY has contracted for such services and has failed to require the contractor to maintain the insurance requirements set forth in Section 25 above. CITY shall further indemnify COUNTY for CITY's apportioned share of liability incurred and attributed to the Countywide HHW Program for the transportation, treatment or disposal of household hazardous waste at corporate sponsored events where non-county resident employees of the corporate sponsor are authorized to participate in the event. Liability for the nonresident portion of the disposal of waste shall be shared by the cities and the county as described above. The nonresident portion shall be determined by calculating the percentage of nonresidents participating in the event. This percentage will then be subtracted from the total liability for the household hazardous waste prior to assessing CITY's apportioned share of any liability for the household hazardous waste. COUNTY shall require CESQGs and Nonprofit Charitable Reusers to indemnify COUNTY for their apportioned share of any liability incurred and attributed to the Countywide HHW Program 68 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE FY 2012 13 for the transportation, treatment, or disposal of their hazardous waste, once the waste has been accepted by a licensed hazardous waste hauler. The CESQG and Nonprofit Charitable Reuser portion of the waste shall be determined by calculating the percentage, by weight, of the total household hazardous waste accepted by the CoHHW Program. This percentage will be used to calculate the portion of liability attributed to CESQGs and Nonprofit Charitable Reusers and will be subtracted from the total liability prior to assessing CITY's apportioned share of any liability for household hazardous waste. 69 1 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 16, 2011 AGENDA ITEM: ORIGINATING DEPT: City Manager’s Office CITY MANAGER: PREPARED BY: Ann Sullivan, City Clerk DEPT HEAD: Dave Anderson SUBJECT: Public Hearing on Resolution Ordering the Abatement of a Public Nuisance by Removal of Hazardous Vegetation (Weeds) RECOMMENDED ACTION: Open public hearing; listen to public testimony; and close public hearing. Consider any objections to proposed Order for Abatement of Hazardous Vegetation and sustain or overrule any objections as to specific properties. Adopt proposed Resolution Ordering Abatement (Attachment A) as to properties listed (with modification(s) if any objections are sustained). REPORT SUMMARY: On December 15, 2010 the City Council adopted a Resolution (Attachment B) declaring hazardous vegetation (weeds) to be a public nuisance. In addition, the adopted December 15, 2010 Resolution set January 5, 2011 as the public hearing date to take evidence regarding objections to the proposed Declaration of Nuisance as to Specific Properties requiring destruction and removal of hazardous vegetation (weeds). On January 5, 2011 the City Council adopted a Resolution Declaring Specific Properties to be a Nuisance requiring destruction and removal of hazardous vegetation (weeds) (Attachment D). That January 5, 2011 Resolution also set March 16, 2011 as the public hearing date to take evidence regarding objections to the proposed Declaration of Nuisance as to Specific Properties requiring destruction and removal of hazardous vegetation (weeds). The County Agricultural Commissioner serves as the Enforcement Officer for the City of Saratoga as to abatement of hazardous vegetation. The County Agricultural Commissioner mailed a letter dated December 10, 2010 (Attachment C) to previously identified property owners informing them that additional weed abatement work was required on their property. In addition, the County Agricultural Commissioner will be mailing a courtesy notice to the previously identified property owner’s mid March reminding them that additional weed abatement work is required on their property. Legal Notice of the Public Hearing on the Order for Abatement has also been duly published in the March 1, 2011 Saratoga News, with a list of the properties as to which abatement of 70 hazardous vegetation is proposed to be carried out by the County Agricultural Commissioner. (Attachment E) If this is the property owner’s first year in the Weed Abatement Program, the property owner will be responsible for a fee of $41.00 per parcel to cover the cost of creating and maintaining a file in the County’s database. If the property owner fails to complete abatement work prior to the County inspection of the property, the property owner will be responsible for an inspection fee of $250 per parcel and the property will be scheduled for abatement by the County contractor. If the property owner completes the abatement work before the County contractor, the property owner will not incur further charges beyond those described above. If the abatement work is completed by the County contractor, the property owner will additionally be assessed the contractor’s charges plus a County administrative fee of $169 per parcel. Nonpayment of the abatement costs, the inspection fee (if owed) and the administrative fee will result in the same being levied as a special assessment against the property, to be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary real estate taxes.

Make a decision regarding CDBG recommendations and Community Grant allocations. 2. Approve a transfer of the entire remaining SHARP funds and outstanding loans to the Santa Clara County Housing Rehabilitation Program. DISCUSSION: On March 2, 2011 the Council heard testimony from public supporters and agency representatives seeking Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Community Grant funds. A copy of all of the applications is provided in Attachment 4. Additional information (e.g., audit, financial statements) is available upon request. ADA Projects: The total amount available for affordable housing and/or ADA projects is expected to be $85,697. The City received two requests for the entire amount. Saratoga Historical Foundation requested $6,200 and the City of Saratoga Facilities Department requested $79,497. Community Service Programs: The City received 7 applications for community service funding for a total request of $73,677.85. The Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council requested $34,000; West Valley Community Services (WVCS) requested $15,164; Santa Clara Family Health Foundation requested $9,288; Shady Shakespeare Theater Company requested $5,000; Catholic Charities requested $5,000; KSAR requested $3,100; and the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley requested $2,125.85. The City expects to receive approximately $31,900 for CDBG public service projects1. Council policy for Community Grant funding is to match CDBG Public Service funding. Thus, the total amount available for community service programs is expected to be $63,800.00 and the total shortfall is ($9,877.85). Contingency Plan: CDBG funding is subject to change and the Council should therefore recommend a contingency plan. Last year, the funds increased and the Council gave the additional public service funds to SASCC and the additional capital improvements funds to the Accessible Signals program. 1 In past years, the Council has distributed the entire amount of CDBG Community Service funding to one program while funding the other Community Service applicants with Community Grant funds. This approach eliminates the cumbersome CDBG reporting requirements for the other applicants and decreases the amount of administration required by City staff to distribute CDBG funds. 91 CDBG Administrative Funding: In past years, the City of Saratoga received $15,000 to administer the CDBG program; however, the City will no longer receive this money. Saratoga Housing Rehabilitation Program (SHARP): In the past few years the City has not received any SHARP applications despite outreach. HUD allows communities to retain 150% of its annual CDBG allocation but the City currently maintains 232%. Staff recommends the City Council approve a transfer of all remaining SHARP funds and outstanding loans in order to meet the timeliness ratio and avoid losing future funding. FISCAL IMPACTS: The CDBG funds for FY 2011/12 are federal Housing and Urban Development funds administered by Santa Clara County and allocated to participating cities. Under the Community Grants program, Council policy is to match CDBG public service funds, which is estimated to be $31,900 this year. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City’s FY 2011/12 CDBG allocation will remain with the County. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: NA FOLLOW UP ACTION: 1. Forward Council’s CDBG recommendations to the County of Santa Clara and execute contracts with agencies receiving funding. 2. Approve a transfer of $118,172.77 in unused SHARP funds and $26,000 in unused SHARP administration funds to the Unincorporated Housing Rehabilitation Program. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Staff sent a copy of the application to past applicants and interested individuals in December 2010. The availability of grant funds was publicized on the City Website and in the Saratoga News in January 2011. Notice of the Public Hearing was properly posted and published in the Saratoga News on February 15, 2011. This item was also posted as a City Council agenda item and was included in the packet made available on the City’s web site in advance of the meeting. A copy of the agenda packet is also made available at the Saratoga Branch Library each Monday in advance of the Council meeting and residents may subscribe to the agenda on-line by opting in at www.saratoga.ca.us.

Conduct the Public Hearing and accept public testimony presentations from applicants. 2. Make a decision regarding CDBG recommendations and Community Grant allocations. 3. Approve a transfer of $118,172.77 in unused SHARP funds and $26,000 in unused SHARP administration funds to the Unincorporated Housing Rehabilitation Program. REPORT SUMMARY: Each year the City allocates Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Community Grant funding to community services and programs. CDBG proposals must comply with federal and county requirements with priority given to projects that provide affordable housing, rehabilitation of affordable housing, and public services which primarily serve lower income clients. CDBG funding has also been available for public improvements to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The availability of 2011-2012 fiscal year CDBG funds was publicized on the City Website and in the Saratoga News. As in past years, CDBG funding is subject to change and the final amount is expected to be announced prior to the beginning of FY 11/12 (July 1, 2011). The Council should recommend a contingency plan if the funding levels change, as expected. Last year, the funds increased. At that time, the Council decided to give the additional public service funds to Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council (SASCC) and allocate the additional capital improvements funds to the ADA Accessible Signals program. DISCUSSION: CDBG ADA Public Improvement Funding The total amount available for affordable housing and/or ADA projects is expected to be $85,697. Staff received an application from the Saratoga Historical Foundation for $6,200 to design and install an ADA compliant ramp for the Saratoga Museum Storage Building. The City of Saratoga Facilities Department is requesting $79,497 for ADA Compliance Program. The first phase of the project covers the cost of designing, creating, and installing ADA compliant signs in City of Saratoga buildings and facilities. The second phase covers the cost of design, construction, and installation of ADA compliant public service counters signs in City of Saratoga buildings and facilities. 98 Community Service Programs Overview Prior to the writing of this staff report, staff received seven (7) applications for community service programs, for a total request of $73,677.85. The City expects to receive approximately $31,900 for CDBG public service projects. Council policy for Community Grant funding is to match CDBG Public Service funding. Thus, the total amount available for community service programs would be approximately $63,800.00 and the total funding shortfall would be $9,877.85. CDBG Public Service Funding Three applications, totaling $54,164, are eligible for CDBG Public Service funding. The Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council requested $34,000; West Valley Community Services (WVCS) requested $15,164; and Catholic Charities requested $5,000. The total amount estimated to be available for CDBG public service projects is $31,900. In past years, the Council has distributed the entire amount to one program while funding the other public service applicants with Community Grant funds. This approach eliminates the cumbersome CDBG reporting requirements for the other applicants and decreases the amount of administration required by City staff to distribute CDBG funds. The requested amount remaining to be carried over to the Community Grant funding program would be $22,264. Saratoga Community Grant Funding Saratoga’s Community Grant funding helps programs that benefit Saratoga residents whether or not they meet CDBG income requirements. The four applications that are not CDBG eligible include requests for $9,288 from the Santa Clara Family Health Foundation; $3,100 from KSAR; $2,125.85 from the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley; and $5,000 from the Shady Shakespeare Theater Company. The total amount requested from these four applications is $19,513.85. The total amount requested, including the $22,264 carried over from CDBG public services project, is $41,777.85. The total amount available for community grants would be $31,900.00 and the total shortfall would be $9,877.85. SUMMARY OF APPLICATIONS Summaries of each application are listed below.

The program will support 22 Saratoga students which is equal to 100% of the students in the program. The estimated cost for teacher salaries is $5,600. The requested funding is $3,100 which is approximately 55% of the cost to fund teacher salaries. In-kind donations include volunteer participation by KSAR board members and the time and costs associated with planning, review and coordination by Saratoga High School teachers. The program has also received a grant from West Valley Solid Waste. This project is being considered under the Community Grant program. It is not eligible for CDBG funding since it does not primarily serve low-income participants. Santa Clara Family Health Foundation Healthy Kids Program The Healthy Kids Program provides comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, vision, and mental health) for children with immigration issues or those who are not eligible for Medi-Cal or Healthy Families because their family income is too high to qualify, yet too low to pay for health care or insurance. The program serves 6,155 clients annually including approximately 10 Saratoga residents which represent 0.16% of the total clients served. The total cost of the program is $7,326,014. The requested funding is $9,288 which is 0.13% of the total budget to operate the program. The Healthy Kids Program has applied for funding from various sources including foundations and governmental agencies/programs. The program has also applied for funding from the several other cities it serves. This project is being considered under the Community Grant program. It is not eligible for CDBG funding because health care premiums are not an allowed expense. 100 Shady Shakespeare Theater Company The Shady Shakespeare Theater Company (SSTC) submitted a proposal to help fund performances held in Sanborn-Skyline County Park. SSTC’s 2010 productions of Much Ado About Nothing and The Merchant of Venice were attended by approximately 5,000 people including approximately 500 Saratoga residents which represent an estimated 10% of the total guests. The total cost of the program is $90,000. The requested funding is $5,000 which is 5.6% of the total cost of the program. This project is being considered under the Community Grant program. It is not eligible for CDBG funding since it does not primarily serve low-income participants. In addition to receiving funding from grants and future ticket sales, the program has requested $18,000 from 4 organizations (including Saratoga). Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley The Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley (WCSV) submitted a proposal for wildlife care, rehabilitation and release, and wildlife education and outreach. Last year, Saratoga residents brought in approximately 100 animals for WCSV services. This represents 2.5% of the approximately 4,000 injured, sick and orphaned local birds and mammals brought in annually. The total cost of the program is $283,446. The requested funding is $2,125.85 which is 0.86% of the total cost of the program. This does not include the cost associated with approximately 225 phone calls from Saratoga residents. This project is being considered under the Community Grant program. It is not eligible for CDBG funding since it does not primarily serve low-income participants. Leveraging for the program includes grants, donations, fees, and investments. CDBG Administrative Funding In past years, the City of Saratoga received $15,000 to administer the CDBG program; however, the City will no longer receive this money. As discussed at the March 3 and April 7, 2010 City Council meetings, the Santa Clara County Executive’s Office is retaining $75,000 in administrative funds that was previously dispersed to the Urban County cities1 . Saratoga Housing Rehabilitation Program (SHARP) In the past few years the City has not received any applications for SHARP funding despite outreach efforts at the West Valley Community Services Center, the Saratoga Senior Center, the Saratogan Newsletter, and the Saratoga Newspaper. Because no applications have been received, the City of Saratoga has retained $118,172.77 in SHARP funding since 2004 and 2005. HUD requires that CDBG funding be spent in a timely matter and only allows communities to retain 150% of its annual CDBG allocation. The City currently maintains 232% of its annual allocation and is in jeopardy of losing future funding in order to meet the HUD timeliness ratio. Staff recommends the City Council approve a transfer of $118,172.77 in SHARP funds as well as $26,000 in SHARP administration funds that has accumulated over the past several years. The SHARP program is currently administered by the Santa Clara County Housing and Community Development Department (HCD). The funds would be transferred to the Unincorporated Housing Rehabilitation Program and be available for applicants to that program. However, any applications for housing rehabilitation in the City of Saratoga would have priority, until the funds are expended. 1 Cities of Campbell, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Morgan Hill, Saratoga, and the Unincorporated Area of Santa Clara County 101 FISCAL IMPACTS: The CDBG funds for FY 2011/12 are federal Housing and Urban Development funds administered by Santa Clara County and allocated to participating cities. Under the Community Grants program, Council policy is to match CDBG public service funds, which is estimated to be $31,900 this year. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City’s FY 2011/12 CDBG allocation will remain with the County. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: NA FOLLOW UP ACTION: 1. Forward Council’s CDBG recommendations to the County of Santa Clara and execute contracts with agencies receiving funding. 2. Approve a transfer of $118,172.77 in unused SHARP funds and $26,000 in unused SHARP administration funds to the Unincorporated Housing Rehabilitation Program. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Staff sent a copy of the application to past applicants and interested individuals in December 2010. The availability of grant funds was publicized on the City Website and in the Saratoga News in January 2011. Notice of the Public Hearing was properly posted and published in the Saratoga News on February 15, 2011. This item was also posted as a City Council agenda item and was included in the packet made available on the City’s web site in advance of the meeting. A copy of the agenda packet is also made available at the Saratoga Branch Library each Monday in advance of the Council meeting and residents may subscribe to the agenda on-line by opting in at www.saratoga.ca.us.

My husband and I have been Saratoga residents since 1993. Over the years we have greatly enjoyed Shady Shkespeare's free performances in Sanborn Park, bringing our three children (now teens and young adults) and their friends. To their surprise, they loved the plays as much as picnicking in the lovely outdoor setting, even though most had never seen Shakespeare before. While Mountain Winery, Montalvo, and other Saratoga programs offer quality performances for a steep price, this unique Saratoga arts program is accessible to all in the West Valley. As families economize and school arts programs struggle, it is critical that everyone can experience classic theater. The intimate Shady Shakespeare performances nestled in the redwoods create an appreciation for the arts that will last children a lifetime. Sincerely, Katherine & Michael Metz 19231 Valle Vista Drive 103 Page 1 of 2 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 16, 2011 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Recreation & Facilities CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Michael Taylor DIRECTOR: Michael Taylor Richard Taylor, City Attorney Jonathan Wittwer, Assistant City Attorney SUBJECT: SummerHill Creekside Homes Pollution Legal Liability Coverage Options RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends the Council authorize staff to amend the SummerHill Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) to replace the Pollution Legal Liability (PLL) insurance requirement with alternative terms described in the Staff Report. REPORT SUMMARY: At the City Council meeting of March 2, 2011, SummerHill Homes asked that the PLL insurance requirement listed in section 13 of the SIA be deleted and replaced with substitute language indemnifying the City for environmental risks for the project. Council asked that staff return at the next meeting with a recommendation regarding PLL coverage for the SummerHill Creekside Homes Development, directing staff to investigate the origin of the PLL requirement and comparing Saratoga requirements with what other public agencies require. The origin was an outside counsel who anticipated that developers would have a grading and storm water subcontractor who would have PLL coverage. Investigation as to what other public agencies require is ongoing and Staff will provide Council with a more complete perspective on the “Public Agency standard” at the Council meeting. To date only three cities have responded to our inquiries and none have a PLL requirement in their SIA. San Jose does not require PLL insurance but does require a strong Warranty (Attachment A). Mountain View requires a very extensive general indemnification which does not specify pollution claims, but appears broad enough to cover them (Attachment B). Staff also again contacted the ABAG Risk Manager who provided the ABAG PLAN and an email explanation of risk management “Best Practices” that are recommended to all ABAG members (Attachment C). The ABAG “Best Practices” would result in the current PLL insurance requirement remaining in the SIA. 104 Page 2 of 2 Council could reasonably require either the Public Agency standard or the ABAG Best Practices. This Staff Report recommends the former because this appears to be a relatively low risk situation (though not risk-free) based on the Modified Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (note there is no Phase 2 Assessment). Furthermore, the City will only own the land where the sidewalks, pathways and other “streetside” improvements are being made, and it already owns that land. The Public Agency standard currently recommended by Staff is as follows: (1) SummerHill Homes to provide certification as to any and all existing insurance coverage possessed by it or its subcontractor(s) working on earthmoving or storm water as to public improvement aspects of the project; and (2) SummerHill to provide a Special Provision regarding Indemnification as to Pollution Legal Liability. This indemnification would be limited to $2,000,000 aggregate and claims filed within ten years of project completion. The indemnification would be provided by SummerHill Creekside LLC and SummerHill LLC (with representations and warranties as to adequate assets and maintaining records for ten years with City right to inspect if lack of adequate assets is ever claimed). The indemnification would include discharges by SummerHill, its contractors, subcontractors, employees, agents and third parties. FISCAL IMPACTS: The recommendation to require indemnification or insurance for Pollution Legal Liability would have no additional fiscal impact on City funds at this time. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: There would be no change in the existing agreement and staff would require Pollution Legal Liability Insurance as stated in the original Subdivision Improvement Agreement. FOLLOW UP ACTION: As directed by Council.

END OF SECTION 126 Page 1 of 2 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 16, 2011 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Barbara Powell DIRECTOR: Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Approval of Agency Agreement for the Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept report and authorize: 1. The City Manager to approve the Agency Agreement with the County of Santa Clara for the Countywide Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Program; 2. Staff to increase the funding augmentation for the HHW Program from its current level of $40,000, to a recommended level of $50,000 for FY 2011-12. BACKGROUND: This evening on your agenda, you are considering an Agreement with Santa Clara County for a Countywide AB 939 Implementation Fee. A portion of the proceeds from the AB 939 Fee, assessed at landfills, non-disposal facilities and transfer stations, pays for a baseline Countywide HHW Collection Program. However, as you may be aware, the HHW portion of the AB 939 fee does not fully cover the costs of providing Countywide HHW management services. Saratoga residents are very conscientious in properly managing their HHW and, therefore, have a higher service requirement than the baseline program provides. The City of Saratoga (and a number of other jurisdictions that are party to the HHW Agreement) has chosen in the past to augment the Countywide HHW Program, in order to fully cover the HHW services City residents desire. HHW volumes managed by the County have continued to increase, particularly as awareness has grown about the environmental consequences of improper HHW management, (i.e. pharmaceuticals in our water supply) and as additional items, such as fluorescent lamps and batteries, have been banned from disposal at landfills. Anticipating that the need for a higher HHW management service level will continue for Saratoga, the County is recommending a $50,000 augmentation for FY 2010-11. Saratoga had 744 participants in FY08-09, and 773 participants in FY09-10. As of the end of February 2011, the City has had 682 participants for FY10-11, with a quarter of the year still remaining. The County anticipates about 920 participants by the end of the fiscal year, and further anticipates that the City’s current augmentation of $40,000 for this fiscal year will be 127 Page 2 of 2 inadequate. The County projects participation will continue to go up in FY11-12, to an estimated 985, from which the proposed $50,000 augmentation was derived. In order to continue its participation in the Countywide HHW Collection Program, and to elect to receive this higher level of HHW services, it is necessary for the City to approve the attached Agency Agreement with Santa Clara County and to direct staff to include a funding augmentation in the FY 2011-12 proposed budget. FISCAL IMPACTS: If the City Council approves the recommended augmentation, staff will include an appropriation of $50,000 in the proposed FY 2011-12 budget. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The Agency Agreement for the Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program would not be approved. The County would not have sufficient funds to cover a higher level of HHW Collection services for Saratoga residents. ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): The Council could direct staff to include an alternative amount of of funding augmentation for the HHW program. FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): Implement Council direction. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Nothing additional. ATTACHMENTS: Agreement 128 AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 1 AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM This Agreement is made by and between the _______________(CITY) and the County of Santa Clara (COUNTY) on the _________ day of ____________ 2011. RECITALS WHEREAS, the County Board of Supervisors has approved a Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program whereby residents of the County and participating jurisdictions will have an opportunity to safely dispose of household hazardous wastes, regardless of the specific location at which the collection has been scheduled; and WHEREAS, the participating jurisdictions desire to provide residents with convenient opportunities to safely dispose of their household hazardous waste (HHW) in order to encourage the proper disposal of toxic products, and avoid unauthorized or improper disposal in the garbage, sanitary sewer, storm drain system, or on the ground, in a manner which creates a health or environmental hazard; and WHEREAS, the participating jurisdictions desire to provide a safe, convenient, and economical means for residents to dispose of household hazardous wastes. These wastes include, but are not limited to, common household products such as household cleaning products, spot remover, furniture polish, solvents, oven cleaner, pesticides, oil based paints, motor oil, antifreeze, car batteries, mercury thermostats, fluorescent lamps containing mercury, household batteries, and electronic waste. Residents of the CITY listed above will be eligible to bring household hazardous wastes to any household hazardous waste collection event or facility where these wastes will be accepted for proper disposal as described below; and WHEREAS, the County Board of Supervisors approved on February 7, 2006 to modify the Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Program to include the collection and management of electronic waste (e-waste) which includes, but not limited to, radios, televisions, computers, printers, monitors, photocopying machines, fax machines, oscilloscopes, computing accessories; and WHEREAS, the participating jurisdictions desire to schedule Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events (Events) for residents for FY 2011; and WHEREAS, the participating jurisdictions desire to provide household hazardous waste collection services to a minimum of 4% of the households per fiscal year in each participating jurisdiction; and WHEREAS, the County Board of Supervisors has approved a Countywide AB939 Household Hazardous Waste Fee (AB939 HHW Fee), as authorized by Public Resources Code 41901, to be collected at $2.60 in FY 2012 on each ton of waste 129 City of Saratoga AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 2 landfilled or incinerated within the county, received at any non-disposal or collection facility located within the county and subsequently transported for disposal or incineration outside of the county, collected from any location within the county by a solid waste hauler operating pursuant to a franchise, contract, license, or permit issued by any local jurisdiction and subsequently transported for disposal or incineration outside of the county, or removed from any location in the county by any person or business for disposal or incineration outside the county. NOW, THEREFORE, CITY and COUNTY AGREE AS FOLLOWS: 1. PURPOSE The purpose of this Agreement is to state the terms and conditions under which CITY will participate in the Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program (CoHHW Program) available to its residents. Participating jurisdictions are those jurisdictions that enter into an AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM. 2. PROGRAM FUNDING SOURCE HHW Program services are directly mandated under AB939, which establishes statutory authority to provide for funding to support planning and implementation of integrated waste management programs. The AB939 HHW Fee, $2.60 per ton in FY 2012, collected as part of the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE will be the primary source of funding for CoHHW Program services. Funds derived from the AB939 HHW Fee will be allocated among four types of CoHHW Program service costs as follows: A. Fixed Program Costs will be apportioned based on the number of households in each participating jurisdiction. The number of households will be determined at the beginning of each Fiscal Year by statistics compiled by the California Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit from their most Report, “Population Estimates for California Cities and Counties.” B. Abandoned Waste Disposal Costs will fund disposal of HHW illegally abandoned at nonprofit charitable reuse organizations. The existing fund balance of approximately $95,000 from previous years will fund Abandoned Waste Disposal Costs for FY 2012. C. Variable Cost Per Car to provide a base level service to 4% of households in all participating jurisdictions. The number of households is determined by the most recent “Population Estimates for California Cities and Counties” Report as published by the California Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit. D. Available Discretionary Funding funded on tonnage generated per participating jurisdiction. 130 AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 3 The projected Fiscal Year 2012 AB939 HHW Fee funding allocation by jurisdiction is set out in Attachment A, attached hereto and incorporated herein. 3. FIXED PROGRAM COST Fixed Program Costs shall be $1.85 for FY 2012. Estimated HHW Fixed Costs for FY 2012 are projected in Attachment B, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Fixed Program Costs may include, but are not limited to eight (8) CoHHW Program staff members, facility leasing costs, vehicle lease costs, office rent, office supplies, county administrative overhead, county legal counsel, training costs, equipment and facility maintenance and union negotiated salary and benefit increases. 4. ABANDONED WASTE DISPOSAL COST The existing unexpended non-profit abandoned waste fund balance of approximately $95,000, will fund disposal of HHW illegally abandoned at nonprofit charitable reuser organizations as defined in Public Resources Code Section 41904. 5. VARIABLE COST PER CAR The Variable Cost Per Car is the cost associated with actual labor, waste disposal, transportation and other services provided to the residents at the County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facilities (CoHHWCF) and at Temporary Events. The Variable Cost Per Car is estimated to be approximately $67 per car for Fiscal Year 2012. The estimated cost per car will be adjusted to reflect actual service costs. After Fixed Program Costs are allocated on a per household basis, the Variable Cost Per Car will be used to calculate the costs to service 4% of households across all participating jurisdictions. If the level of 4% of households is not reached in a particular jurisdiction, the CoHHW Program will use the remaining balance of funds, in cooperation with the CITY that has less than 4% participation levels, to increase public outreach and/or provide additional services in that jurisdiction the following year. 6. AVAILABLE DISCRETIONARY FUNDING The Available Discretionary Funding portion of the AB939 HHW Fee will be be allocated based on the tons of waste generated within each jurisdiction, and after allocation of Fixed Program Costs and Variable Per Car Costs. Available Discretionary Funds will be paid as directed by each jurisdiction. Available Discretionary Funds must be used for HHW purposes. Options for how to spend these funds include, but are not limited to, increasing the number of residents served in that jurisdiction by the CoHHW Program, subsidizing curbside used motor oil collection, electronic waste (e-waste) collection, universal waste collection, emergency HHW services, funding HHW public education, or providing special programs such as door-to-door collection of HHW for the elderly and/or persons with disabilities and neighborhood clean-up events. 131 AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 4 7. ADMINISTRATION AND PAYMENT OF THE AB939 HHW FEE The Santa Clara County Integrated Waste Management Program (IWMP) will administer the AB939 HHW Fee, as part of the existing landfill billing system. Administration and payment will be made in accordance with the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the COUNTY shall maintain records of the amount, use, and distribution of Fixed Program Cost expenditures for at least five (5) years after the termination date of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by law to retain such records for a longer period. CITY may request in writing a review by COUNTY of the Fixed Program Cost records. The review shall be performed within 30 days of request and results shall be reported to participating cities in writing. 8. PROGRAM PUBLICITY The CoHHW Program shall have available to the public a HHW brochure for distribution. The brochure will be made available at various events, including but not limited to, environmental events, community fairs. The brochure will also be distributed, upon request, to cities within the County and to County residents and businesses. The CITY shall be responsible for developing and coordinating citywide awareness of the HHW Program. The CoHHW Program shall be responsible for Countywide public education for used oil recycling. CoHHW Program public awareness responsibilities shall include, but not be limited to, the following activities: 􀁸 Serving as the formal contact to the local media such as local newspapers and television news stations; 􀁸 Providing participating jurisdictions with educational materials developed for the CoHHW Program; 􀁸 Promoting oil and oil filter recycling by developing, purchasing, and distributing educational materials, media relations materials, basic art work and camera ready advertising materials for distribution countywide and for use by jurisdictions; 􀁸 Representing the program through educational presentations at schools and businesses and attendance at community events such as local fairs and festivals; and, 􀁸 Providing participating jurisdictions opportunities to review and comment on the development of countywide outreach materials. CITY’s public awareness responsibilities, at the sole discretion of the CITY, shall include, but not be limited to, the following activities: 􀁸 Providing a copy of HHW promotional materials to the CoHHW Program for review for accuracy and completeness, prior to publication; 􀁸 Developing and distributing communications to residents for local and city newsletters, newspapers and to the electronic media; 􀁸 Providing the CoHHW Program with a copy of locally produced materials; and, 􀁸 Conducting and supporting outreach and publicity to attain the 4% goal of household participation. 132 AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 5 9. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY The Board of Supervisors delegates all CoHHW Program management to the Department of Agriculture and Environmental Management. The Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environmental Management has the authority to execute all vendor contracts necessary to operate the program, to execute any necessary license agreements, to add additional HHW services provided on a cost recovery basis, to amend any contracts or agreements, and to terminate any contracts or agreements. All contracts, agreements, and amendments shall first be approved by County Counsel as to form and legality and the Office of the County Executive. 10. TEMPORARY HHW EVENTS COUNTY shall conduct HHW Events at various sites located in Santa Clara County. COUNTY shall obtain all necessary permits and licenses required for the Temporary HHW Events and shall provide or contract for the services of properly trained, qualified personnel and hazardous waste haulers, and shall provide or secure suitable equipment and supplies to properly receive, package, label, haul, recycle and dispose of the household hazardous wastes collected at the Temporary HHW Events. 11. HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION FACILITIES COUNTY shall conduct collection operations at the following two County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facilities (CoHHWCF): Sunnyvale Recycling Center, 164 Carl Road, Sunnyvale, and 13055 Murphy Avenue, San Martin. The CoHHWCF will operate a reuse program, offering usable materials to the public at no charge. The COUNTY shall obtain all necessary permits and licenses required for the CoHHWCF and shall provide or contract for services, equipment, and supplies to properly receive, package, label, haul, recycle and dispose of wastes collected. 12. SMALL BUSINESS RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL PROGRAM COUNTY will provide services to accept hazardous waste from Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESQG). A CESQG is defined by federal regulation as a business that generates less than 100 Kilograms (220 lbs.) of hazardous waste or 1 Kilogram (2.2 lbs.) of extremely hazardous waste per month. Eligible businesses within the County will be allowed to bring their hazardous waste to CoHHWCF. This program will not be subsidized by participating jurisdictions. Services to businesses will be provided on a cost recovery basis, which will include program administration, on-site collection, transportation, and disposal costs. COUNTY will assume responsibility for collecting fees from participating businesses. The fees collected by the COUNTY are established in Attachment D, Santa Clara County CESQG Drop-off Price List. The COUNTY retains the discretion to change the Santa Clara County CESQG Drop-off Price List at any time to reflect increases or decreases in CoHHW Program costs. 133 AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 6 13. ABANDONED HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE The CoHHW Program will allow for the disposal of abandoned HHW by government agencies and nonprofit charitable reusers. Abandoned HHW means HHW left at a property by an unknown party. Abandoned household hazardous waste does not include waste generated by a known organization or agency in the course of normal business operations such as, but not limited to, the assembly or manufacture of products from new or used materials or the provision of charitable services such as classroom education, meal preparation, and shelter, or the provision of services for a fee. Government agencies shall be charged for disposal of abandoned HHW according to the CoHHW Program's published rates for conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs). 14. NONPROFIT CHARITABLE REUSER A Nonprofit Charitable Reuser organization as established in Public Resources Code Section 41904, is a nonprofit as defined in Section Section 501(c) (3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, or a distinct operating unit or division of the charitable organization. A Nonprofit Charitable Reuser is further defined as an organization that reuses and recycles donated material and receives more than 50% of its revenues from the handling and sale of those donated goods or materials. In order to qualify as a Nonprofit Charitable Reuser, the business must submit to the COUNTY Director of Environmental Health a request to be so designated. The Director shall review the request and supporting documentation and shall make a final decision on the designation. COUNTY will accept abandoned HHW from Nonprofit Charitable Reusers and will waive disposal fees on the cost of disposal of the abandoned HHW in an annual amount not to exceed funds available from the existing unexpended abandoned waste fund. Funding for disposal available to Nonprofit Charitable Reuser shall be on a first come first serve basis. Once the cost for disposal of the abandoned HHW from Nonprofit Charitable Reusers is equal to the available funds, disposal fees shall no longer be waived, and Nonprofit Charitable Reusers shall be charged for disposal of abandoned HHW according to the CoHHW Program's published rates for CESQGs. No additional costs shall be applied to the budget of a participating jurisdiction. 15. HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTES ACCEPTED HHW accepted by the CoHHW Program shall be limited to materials as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 25218.1(e), as amended from time to time, and include, but are not limited to, automotive fluids, automotive and other types of batteries, latex and oil paint, oil filters, garden chemicals, household cleaners, pool chemicals, mercury thermostats, fluorescent lamps containing mercury, household batteries, e-waste and other common hazardous consumer products. 16. WASTES NOT ACCEPTED 134 AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 7 Certain hazardous wastes shall not be accepted for collection and disposal. These include, but are not limited to, compressed gas cylinders larger than 5 gallons, radioactive materials, and explosives. Other wastes not accepted by the CoHHW Program are wastes generated as part of operating a business, including a home operated business, except that waste from CESQGs as provided for in Section 12 of this Agreement shall be accepted. 17. ADDITIONAL SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT CITY may elect to augment funding provided for in this Agreement with CITY funds. Additional services shall be made available upon written agreement between the CITY's authorized representative and the Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environmental Management. Additional services may include, but are not limited to, additional appointments (charged at the variable cost per car rate), door-todoor HHW collection, used oil filter collection, universal waste collection, electronic waste collection, and abandoned waste collection. CITY agrees to augment up to an additional $_________ to the Countywide HHW Program during Fiscal Year 2012 for the purpose of increased resident participation above the 4% service level at the scheduled collection dates listed in Attachment C, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Augmentation will be calculated at the Variable Cost Per Car rate which is estimated at $67.00 per car. Other services will be charged based on a cost recovery basis. CITY authorizes the COUNTY to use CITY’S Available Discretionary Funding portion of the AB939 HHW Fee, if available, to pay for the above agreed additional augmentation amount. At the end of each fiscal year, a final annual cost statement shall be prepared by COUNTY and issued to CITY by November 30th. The annual cost statement will take into consideration costs incurred on behalf of CITY for additional services and all payments made by CITY to COUNTY. If any balance is owed to COUNTY, it will be due within 30 days following receipt of the annual cost statement. If any credit is owed to CITY, COUNTY will refund that amount to CITY within 30 days following delivery of the annual cost statement. 18. INFORMATION AND APPOINTMENT LINE COUNTY will operate a telephone information and appointment desk Monday through Friday, from the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The information service will register residents for the Temporary HHW Events and the collections at CoHHWCF. The information service will provide information about hazardous household materials. CITY will be notified immediately when indicated resident participation approaches the 4% base level of service. 19. SCHEDULING AND SITE SELECTION COUNTY shall work with CITY to determine the date(s) of Temporary Events and collections at the CoHHWCF. CITY shall coordinate with COUNTY in locating and securing sites for Temporary HHW Events. It is recognized that some of the 135 AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 8 jurisdictions participating in the CoHHW Program may not have appropriate sites available. A proposed HHW schedule for Fiscal Year 2012 of Temporary Events and collections at CoHHWCF is included as Attachment C. COUNTY will schedule an adequate number of collection days to serve the 4% level of service in each participating jurisdiction. The COUNTY determines the adequate number of collection days by tracking attendance at each event. 20. OUTSIDE FUNDING During the term of this agreement, COUNTY will seek outside funding sources to begin services that would supplement existing services such as permanent collection sites, equipment, and operational funding. If funding is obtained, the Program will, at COUNTY's discretion, proceed with development of additional programs without affecting CITY’s available funding allocation. 21. ELECTRONIC WASTE COLLECTION The CoHHW Program will accept electronic waste (e-waste) from residents and businesses throughout the county. A contractor has been selected to perform services and shall reimburse the County Pursuant to the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 (California State Senate Bill 20) and the Electronic Waste Recycling Act Amendments of 2004 (California State Senate Bill 50), contractor shall remit to COUNTY, recycling and disposal reimbursements for the electronic equipment designated under this Act that are collected by contractor on behalf of the COUNTY. Any and all revenues generated by this service will be applied to lowering the Variable Cost Per Car for all cities and COUNTY. 22. REGIONAL GRANT PARTICIPATION The CoHHW Program is hereby given permission by all participating jurisdictions to apply for future grants from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). The CoHHW Program will act on behalf of all participating jurisdictions, as the lead applicant and grant administrator. The CoHHW Program will oversee how the moneys are used and work in cooperation with CITY as to how the funds will be spent. Nothing in this section shall preclude a participating jurisdiction from applying for grant funds in any case where the CoHHW Program does not apply. 23. EMERGENCY SERVICES Participating jurisdictions, at their option, may desire to provide residents with convenient emergency opportunities to safely dispose of their HHW in the event of a disaster. The purpose of this emergency planning for HHW is to minimize potential public health and safety impacts, as well as to minimize costs and confusion. Attachment E sets out CITY and COUNTY responsibilities for the collection of household hazardous wastes in response to an emergency. CITY shall make good faith efforts to provide the public with information related to the problems associated with HHW. Upon the decision to hold an emergency collection event, it is CITY’s 136 AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 9 responsibility to make a good faith effort to prepare and disseminate the necessary outreach to notify the public of an emergency collection event. An emergency collection event shall be initiated by a written request from CITY to COUNTY. Emergency collection events can be scheduled in as little as ten (10) working days of CITY’s written request or at an agreed upon date thereafter. The emergency collection plan is set out in Attachment E, Household Hazardous Waste Emergency Collection Plan. COUNTY agrees to conduct the event at a mutually agreeable site and time. The COUNTY will obtain the necessary permit from the State Department of Toxic Substances Control and will handle wastes in accordance with State law. COUNTY will bill CITY for all emergency events on a cost recovery basis and all payments shall be due COUNTY within thirty days following the receipt of the invoice. 24. PRIVATE SPONSORED EVENTS COUNTY may also secure funding from corporations or agencies to conduct HHW Collection Events for corporate employees and residents of participating jurisdictions and to pay for special programs such as Universal Waste collection at retail locations. The transportation, treatment and disposal liability for nonresident employee participation in these events shall be shared by all participating jurisdictions and the COUNTY, as described in Section 28 of this Agreement. Summary information concerning these corporate sponsored events will be included in the CoHHW Program's annual report to the participating jurisdictions. 25. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS Contractors who provide hazardous waste transportation, treatment, or disposal services shall have the required insurance as outlined in Attachment F, Exhibit B-2D (revised) Insurance Requirements for Environmental Services Contract. Other contractors shall have insurance in amounts to be determined by COUNTY Insurance Manager, after consultation with CITY. COUNTY shall obtain insurance certificates from each of the contractors prior to the contractor providing service to the program naming the COUNTY as an additional insured. 26. WASTE TRACKING AND REPORTING COUNTY will provide a mid-year report to CITY regarding participation rates from each participating jurisdiction by March 15, 2012. Mid-year and year end reports will outline the types and quantities of waste collected, the amount of waste diverted for reuse or recycling and the waste management method for each waste stream and associated costs for services. COUNTY will prepare a report summarizing program activities which will be delivered to the participating jurisdictions no later than six months after the end of COUNTY’s fiscal year. It will be assumed for cost and reporting purposes that each participating jurisdiction is contributing to the waste stream in proportion to the number of its residents who directly participate. 137 AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 10 COUNTY shall take steps to assure that the bi-annual statements to jurisdictions reflect the funds necessary to cover costs for CITY participation in services scheduled during the next quarter. COUNTY will make every effort to keep the Variable Cost Per Car at approximately $67. 27. PARTICIPATION REPORTING COUNTY shall employ means necessary to verify the place of residence of all participants in the CoHHW Program. 28. HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFICATION In lieu of and not withstanding the pro rata risk allocation which might otherwise be imposed between CITY and COUNTY pursuant to Government Code Section 895.6, the parties agree that all losses or liabilities incurred by a party shall not be shared pro rata but instead COUNTY and CITY agree that pursuant to Government Code Section 895.4, each of the parties hereto shall fully indemnify and hold each of the other parties, their officers, board members, employees and agents, harmless from from any claim, expense or cost, damage or liability imposed for injury (as defined by Government Code Section 810.8) occurring by reason of the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of the indemnifying party, its officers, employees or agents, under or in connection with or arising out of any work, authority or jurisdiction delegated to such party under this Agreement. No party, nor any officer, board member, employee or agent thereof shall be responsible for any damage or liability occurring by reason of the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of the other parties hereto, their officers, board members, employees or agents, under or in connection with or arising out of any work authority or jurisdiction delegated to such other parties under this Agreement. Additionally, CITY shall indemnify COUNTY for CITY's apportioned share of any liability incurred and attributed to the Countywide HHW Program for the transportation, treatment, or disposal of the household hazardous waste, once the waste has been accepted by a licensed hazardous waste hauler. Apportionment for disposal liability shall be determined by each participating jurisdiction’s pro rata proportion of household participation in the Program. Apportionment for transportation and treatment liability shall be determined by each participating jurisdiction’s pro rata household participation at the event where the waste was generated. COUNTY will use reasonable efforts to obtain recovery from all available resources, including insurance, of any liable hauler or liable disposal facility operator. No liability shall be apportioned to CITY for transportation, treatment or disposal in any case where COUNTY has contracted for such services and has failed to require the contractor to maintain the insurance requirements set forth in Section 25 above. CITY shall further indemnify COUNTY for CITY's apportioned share of liability incurred and attributed to the Countywide HHW Program for the transportation, treatment or disposal of household hazardous waste at corporate sponsored events where non-county resident employees of the corporate sponsor are authorized to participate in the event. Liability for the nonresident portion of the disposal of waste 138 AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 11 shall be shared by the cities and the county as described above. The nonresident portion shall be determined by calculating the percentage of nonresidents participating in the event. This percentage will then be subtracted from the total liability for the household hazardous waste prior to assessing CITY's apportioned share of any liability for the household hazardous waste. COUNTY shall require CESQGs and Nonprofit Charitable Reusers to indemnify COUNTY for their apportioned share of any liability incurred and attributed to the Countywide HHW Program for the transportation, treatment, or disposal of their hazardous waste, once the waste has been accepted by a licensed hazardous waste hauler. The CESQG and Nonprofit Charitable Reuser portion of the waste shall be determined by calculating the percentage, by weight, of the total household hazardous waste accepted by the CoHHW Program. This percentage will be used to calculate the portion of liability attributed to CESQGs and Nonprofit Charitable Reusers and will be subtracted from the total liability prior to assessing CITY's apportioned share of any liability for household hazardous waste. 29. TERMINATION This Agreement may be terminated by either the COUNTY or CITY upon thirty (30) days written notice given by the terminating party. 30. TERM OF AGREEMENT The term of this Agreement shall be from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, or until all revenue from the last quarter's Fee payments has been distributed, whichever is later. 31. EXTENSION OF TERM This Agreement may be extended for succeeding one-year term if COUNTY and participating jurisdictions so agree in writing. 32. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR Each party shall perform responsibilities and activities described herein as an independent contractor and not as an officer, agent, servant or employee of any of the parties hereto. Each party shall be solely responsible for the acts and omissions of its officers, agents, employee, contractors and subcontractors, if any. Nothing herein shall be considered as creating a partnership or joint venture between the parties. 33. EXECUTION BY COUNTERPART This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 139 AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 12 34. CONTROLLING LAW This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. 35. ENTIRE AGREEMENT This document embodies the entire Agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless and until modification is evidenced by writing signed by all parities or their assigned designates. 36.

This Attachment describes the services the County can provide and the responsibilities of each party for the collection of household hazardous wastes (HHW) in response to an emergency as defined by the local jurisdiction. Jurisdictions should contact local emergency agencies, the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (OES), and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) for more specific information on hazardous materials emergency response. 2. Timing of HHW While it is important to have special collection opportunities for disaster-related HHW as soon as possible to avoid illegal disposal or harm to people and/or the environment, having an event or service service too soon after a disaster may result in low participation. Sufficient public notification, assessment and monitoring of the disaster, and cleanup process by the City HHW Coordinators is essential. 3. Public Information/Notification Cities should be prepared to provide the public with information related to the problems associated with HHW along with information about special collection events and services. Upon the decision to hold an emergency collection event, it is the City’s responsibility to prepare and deliver the necessary public outreach to notify the public of an upcoming event. A City’s public outreach program should evaluate all forms of media including: newspaper ads, posters, flyers, press releases, banners, door -to-door notices, roadside signs, signs on dumpsters, radio public service announcements, and television public access stations. Be aware of communities where multiple language ads will be necessary. 4. State HHW Collection Permits The State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is responsible for issuing the necessary state permits for HHW collection facilities. During an emergency, the County will obtain the necessary emergency permit, for special collection of household hazardous waste, from DTSC through their expedited approval process. 147 19 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM 5. Collection Events Temporary collection events can be set-up at various sites including parking lots, city maintenance yards, neighborhoods needing service, and at landfills or a centralized location to service larger segments of the population. Waste collected can be transported with the HHW Program’s hazardous waste transportation vehicle. In additional, events can be scheduled at the two existing Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facilities (CoHHWCF). The following options are available to each participating City. 􀁸 Neighborhood Drop-off Events: The County is able to provide localized service to specific areas in need of household hazardous waste collection services. The County will work with City Solid Waste Coordinators to conduct coordinated efforts to residents in the affected area. After a specific event, waste will be transported by County staff or a hazardous waste contractor to an appropriate facility. 􀁸 Mobile HHW Event: The County conducts Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event (Events) at various sites located in Santa Clara County throughout the year. Events will be expanded to give priority to disaster victims when requested by the City. The County shall obtain all necessary permits and licenses required for the events and shall provide and/or contract for the services of properly trained personnel and hazardous waste haulers. The County shall also provide or secure suitable equipment and supplies to properly receive, package, label, haul, recycle and dispose of the household hazardous wastes collected at events. 􀁸 CoHHWCF: The County operates two permitted HHW collection facilities for the collection and storage of HHW. The County shall provide or contract for services, equipment, and supplies to properly receive, package, label, haul, recycle and dispose of wastes collected at the CoHHWCF. The CoHHWCF are located at: 􀁸 Sunnyvale Recycling Center, 164 Carl Ave., Sunnyvale 􀁸 San Martin, 13055 Murphy Ave, San Martin 6. Costs, Documentation, and Reimbursements Cities will be billed on a cost recovery basis. Costs of emergency events will be tracked and billed separately. Emergency funding applications pending from the State or Federal government for reimbursements in no way relieves the City of responsibility to make timely payment to the County in accordance with the terms of the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM. The County agrees to provide the City with a detailed accounting of services provided for an emergency collection. Documentation will track the time and materials of staff, outside contractor expenses, and quantities and types of waste collected to demonstrate that the wastes were generated above and beyond existing collection programs. 148 20 AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM Services to businesses will be provided on a cost recovery basis and according to Attachment D of the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM, which includes program administration, on-site collection, transportation, and disposal costs. The County will assume responsibility for collecting fees from participating businesses. 7. State and Federal Assistance and Funds It is the city’s responsibility to pursue reimbursement from State or Federal agencies. State Office of Emergency Services (OES) The OES is responsible for requesting assistance on behalf of local jurisdictions for resources beyond the capability of the jurisdiction. State assistance may include assistance available from State, Federal, or private sources. If a local jurisdiction is declared a state disaster area, and the local jurisdiction deems that the needs of the disaster response are beyond its capabilities, then the local jurisdiction can request assistance and reimbursement of costs from OES. Follow Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) All requests and emergency responses must be in accordance with the SEMS. The State Department of Toxic Substances Control may have funding available for hazardous waste response and collection. Federal Assistance If a state disaster area is declared a federal disaster, then federal funding assistance may be available through the State OES. Funding and assistance may be available from Federal agencies such as FEMA and the U.S. EPA. Damage estimates: The city should provide to the State OES estimates of damages and a "scope of work requested." It is recommended that the local HHW coordinator meet ahead of time with local emergency agencies or State OES contacts regarding the proper procedures and wording of requests for assistance. Funding Process: The funding process may vary depending on the unique circumstances of the disaster. The process can either be the traditional FEMA reimbursement process, or by direct assistance from EPA.

BACKGROUND: The City of Saratoga has many majestic, old trees of a variety of species. These trees provide beauty and stateliness to the city, along with all of the usual benefits provided by trees. The benefits of trees are many, and include providing oxygen, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, preventing erosion on hillsides, cooling homes with shade from their canopies, adding to property values, and increasing the aesthetics of streets and neighborhoods. Creating a list of heritage trees is consistent with Saratoga’s vision for the City, which includes preserving the City’s historic assets, including trees, raising tree awareness of community members, and maintaining a small-town, picturesque, residential atmosphere. In the summer of 2010, Council formed an ad hoc tree committee to research and discuss several issues relating to trees, including heritage tree status. The committee’s findings were presented to Council at the November 3, 2010 meeting. At this meeting, Staff was directed to discuss the topic of creating a Heritage Tree List at the Council retreat on January 28, 2011. At the Council retreat, Staff was directed to consult the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) to assist in developing criteria and procedural requirements in order to establish a Heritage Tree List. Council further directed that 1) listed trees would not be subject to any regulations beyond those for protected trees as stipulated in City Code Article 15-50; and 2) trees added to the list should have the written consent of the owner. The HPC was informed of Council’s direction at their February 8, 2011 meeting and they discussed the process and criteria at their March 8, 2011 meeting. 156 2 DISCUSSION: In order for the adoption of heritage trees to be consistent with the Saratoga City Code, the selection and screening process should adhere to that defined in Section 15-50.020 (k) (1)) of the Tree Regulations, which states that, “a heritage tree is any tree of historic significance or having historic value related to the heritage of the City and designated by action of the City Council upon recommendation of the Heritage Preservation Commission”. In keeping with these standards, the HPC is making the following recommendations to the City Council: 1. Heritage Tree Application Requirements The following exhibits would be required: a) Letter requesting Heritage Tree Designation, signed by the applicant and property owner, and stating why the tree meets the criteria for Heritage Tree status. b) Location Map – A map showing where the property is located, including major roadways and landmarks. c) Schematic drawing or photos of the property with sufficient detail to identify the tree location. d) Photographs of the proposed heritage tree. e) Such additional exhibits and information as may be required by the City Arborist, Community Development Department, or Heritage Preservation Commission. 2. Heritage Tree Criteria Trees must meet the criterion for being an outstanding specimen (in good health with a good structure and the potential for a remaining long life) as determined by the City Arborist, and also meet at least one additional criteria listed below: a) The tree possesses distinctive characteristics such as age, size, type of species, or location; and/or b) The tree represents special aesthetic, social, cultural, educational, economic, agricultural or historic importance to the community. 3. Heritage Tree Designation Process The application shall be reviewed by the HPC, with guidance from the City Arborist, to determine if the proposed Heritage Tree meets the required criteria. If the City Arborist and the HPC determine that a tree qualifies for heritage status, the application will be brought to the Council for designation of the tree as a Heritage Tree via adoption of a resolution. The Heritage Tree List could be publicized and periodically updated, and a copy of it kept on file in the Planning Department. 4. Heritage Tree Protections The Heritage Tree List would not subject trees to any additional regulations beyond those listed under the Tree Regulations in the City Code, Article 15-50. It is assumed that a majority of trees designated for Heritage Status would already be protected under the City’s existing Tree Regulations. Protection of Heritage Trees will continue to be administered at the Staff level by the City Arborist. Determinations by the City Arborist can be appealed for review by the Planning Commission, per City Code Section 15-90.010. 157 3 5. Heritage Tree Recognition Along with inclusion in the Heritage Tree List, the HPC may determine that additional recognition be given to the property owners of a Heritage Tree. Recognition could be in the form of acknowledgement at Arbor Day celebrations, a plaque, a proclamation, or some other form of honor bestowed by the City. The HPC recommends that the City bear costs for staff time, creation of a certificate, and creation of a Heritage Tree List. If a plaque is desired by the owner of the tree, they will be responsible for the cost of the plaque. FISCAL IMPACTS: Costs will be incurred by the City to review a Heritage Tree application. Those costs include City Arborist and Planning Staff time. Furthermore, depending on the type of recognition recommended by the HPC for a designated Heritage Tree, costs may be associated with a plaque or other form of acknowledgement. These costs will be determined by City Council when it considers the master fee schedule in April 2011, and costs for a plaque will be borne by the property owner. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: Saratoga will continue to have no designated Heritage Trees, and trees will continue to be protected as specified in the Tree Regulations, City Code Article 15-50. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Provide staff with alternative direction. FOLLOW UP ACTION: Direct staff accordingly. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: This item was posted as a City Council agenda item and was included in the packet made available on the City’s website in advance of the meeting. A copy of the agenda packet is also made available at the Saratoga Branch Library each Monday in advance of the Council meeting and residents may subscribe to the agenda on-line by opting in at www.saratoga.ca.us. Notice of this meeting was properly posted at City Hall and published in the Saratoga News.

The City Council finds that the City is primarily a residential community; that the economics of property values is inseparably connected with the rural attractiveness of the area, much of which is attributable to the wooded hillsides and the native and ornamental trees located throughout the City; that the preservation of such trees is necessary for the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City in order to preserve scenic beauty, prevent erosion of topsoil, protect against flood hazards and the risk of landslides, counteract pollutants in the air, maintain the climatic balance and decrease wind velocities. To complement and strengthen zoning, subdivision and other land use standards and regulations, while at the same time recognizing the privileges of private property ownership, the City Council adopts the ordinance codified in this Section to establish basic standards and measures for the maintenance, removal, and replacement of trees. Thus, the ordinance codified in this Section is designed to provide a stable and sustainable urban forest to preserve and protect significant historic heritage values, and to enhance the unique aesthetic character and environment of this City.

REPORT SUMMARY: Recently, the City received a letter (Attachment #1) from John M. Leutza, Director, Communications Division of the CPUC. The CPUC is seeking input concerning potential changes to the 408 area code. According to the CPUC website, there are a limited number of potential combinations of prefixes that can be used with each area code. Even with the implementation of “telephone number conservation measures”, the potential combinations of prefixes that can be used with the 408 area code are anticipated to be exhausted during the third quarter of 2012. Two options related to the 408 area code are being considered: 1. An “Overlay” (see attached map – Alternative #1): 􀁸 Retains the same area code for currently assigned numbers 􀁸 Assigns a new area code – 669 – for new numbers within the same geographic area 􀁸 Requires dialing 1 + the area code (either 408 or 669) with every call made 2. A “Split” (see attached map – Alternative #2) 􀁸 Splits a geographic region into new, smaller sub-regions 􀁸 Retains the existing 408 area code for one sub-region 􀁸 Assigns a new area code to the other sub-region The CPUC is holding public meetings about these options on March 16, 17 and 18. Times and locations of the meetings are provided as the last page of Attachment #1. In addition, written comments about options for the 408 area code may be submitted to the CPUC. Mayor Joe Pirzynski, Town of Los Gatos, is encouraging collective action by the West Valley Cities. Los Gatos sent a letter (Attachment #2) to the CPUC, expressing its preference to retain 408 as the split area code for for the West Valley, Santa Clara and Downtown San Jose core of Silicon Valley. In the letter, Los Gatos stated its second preference would be the overlay approach, adding a new area code covering all of the existing 408 area. 169 Page 2 of 2 Staff is requesting direction from the City Council about: 1. Whether you would like to authorize the Mayor to send a letter to the CPUC expressing the City’s preference for one of the options proposed for the 408 area code; and 2. What option is preferred by the Council? If so directed, staff will prepare a letter for the Mayor’s signature. Staff will be attending the Local Jurisdiction Meeting on March 16, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. in the San Jose City Hall Council Chambers, and will provide any additional updates that evening, at your March 16th meeting. FISCAL IMPACTS: Should the CPUC designate the 669 area code for Saratoga, there will be some staff time and material expenses associated with changing the area code on official City correspondence, the website, and other materials referencing the area code. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: N/A ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The City Council could decide not to send written comments to the CPUC concerning proposed changes to the 408 area code. FOLLOW UP ACTION: Undertake Council direction. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Pursuant to Government Code 54954.2, this item was properly posted as a City Council agenda item and was included in the packet made available on the City’s website in advance of the meeting. A copy of the agenda packet is also made available at the Saratoga Branch Library each Monday in advance of the Council meeting.
