This can be accomplished by the approval of the attached budget resolution by City Council. FISCAL IMPACTS: Funding for this work is available in the Village Sidewalk Improvement Project.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Consider and take action on the Assistance League’s request for the non-profit rate for use of the North Campus Fellowship Hall for their Crab Fest in February and their Intergenerational Tea in May. REPORT SUMMARY: The existing Facility Use Policy governing the use of City buildings indicates that non-profit organizations do not qualify for the 50% fee reduction usually provided for non-profit uses when their event is for fundraising purposes. The Assistance League of Los Gatos/Saratoga is requesting that they be granted the 50% fee reduction for their upcoming fundraisers to be held in the Fellowship Hall at the North Campus. DISCUSSION: Assistance League has its roots in the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Deeply moved by the plight of those ineligible for assistance from existing relief organizations, Mrs. Hancock Banning organized a Southern California relief unit named "The Assistance League". This organization continued its volunteer activities through World War I, culminating in the founding of the first chapter in 1919. The organization expanded its community service and refined its philanthropic philosophy, and in 1935, National Assistance League was organized with the vision of a nationwide effort. Establishment of new chapters continued and gained momentum. Locally, Assistance League in Los Gatos-Saratoga is the 110th chapter of National Assistance League and was formed in September 2000. There are over 100 members who provided more than 13,000 volunteer hours of community service last year. They are dedicated to meeting, identifying and addressing local community needs. The Assistance League of Los Gatos/Saratoga wishes to host two fundraising events to benefit their efforts to provide nutritious, hot lunches at the Saratoga Adult Day Care Center 52 2 four days a week. This group also provides craft projects at the Center monthly. The Crab Fest and Intergenerational Tea fundraisers are needed to raise money for all their philanthropic programs. Non-profit organizations are awarded a 50% discount on rental fees provided they meet the following criteria: · They must provide evidence of their non-profit status. A copy of their letter from the California Secretary of State’s office with their non-profit ID number indicated is required. · Their membership must be at least 51% Saratoga residents OR at least 51% of the persons in attendance at their event must be Saratoga residents. · The event must be open to the public, advertised as such and is for the public benefit · Non-profit groups requesting the use of City facilities for the purpose of fundraising or when an admission fee is charged will pay the regular rental fee. In addition, when alcohol is served, the event organizer is required to provide one security guard for every 100 persons in attendance. A $500 Security Deposit is required for all uses. RECOMMENDATION: The City of Saratoga’s existing non-profit use policy does not allow non-profits undertaking fundraising activities to receive the 50% discount rate granted for their other activities. Staff is not authorized to make exceptions to Council policy; hence this item requires Council action. FISCAL IMPACTS: The Assistance League of Los Gatos/Saratoga meets all the criteria for non-profit fees except the final one. Use fees for their desired dates and times at the undiscounted rate would be $1,440. Should their fee waiver request be granted, their fees would be reduced to $720. They have currently paid their fees at the Saratoga resident rate (10% discount) for a total of $1,296. Should their request be granted, staff will issue a refund of $576 to the Assistance League. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: · Alternate A: Grant the partial fee waiver request for both events: This action would reduce the Assistance League’s fee to $360 + the $25 processing fee per event ($720 fee total + $50 in processing fees). Waive the security deposit requirement ($500). Waive the requirement for a security guard. A refund of $576 would be given the League. · Alternate B: Deny the partial fee waiver request. The Assistance League would pay $1,440 in use fees less the Saratoga resident discount of 10% per event for a total of $1,296. Waive the $25 processing fee, the security deposit ($500), and the security guard requirement. A refund of $50 for processing fees would be given the League · Alternate C: Approve only one of their requests for a fee waiver and waive all processing fees, security deposit ($500), and security guard requirement: This action would reduce the Assistance League’s fee to $360 for one event + $720 for the other event for a total of $1,080. A refund of $216 + $50 processing fees would be given the League. 53 3 FOLLOW UP ACTION: Staff will undertake Council direction. Staff is preparing policy alternatives to address fundraising by non-profit users for the City Council’s consideration for the January 20, 2010 meeting. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: City Council meeting noticed on November 25, 2009. ATTACHMENTS: Email from Assistance League of Los Gatos/Saratoga requesting fee waiver 54 From: Linda Krain [mailto:lindakrain@comcast.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 2:20 PM To: City Clerk [Ann Sullivan] Subject: Non profit use of North Campus Dear Ann Sullivan, I am a member of Assistance League® of Los Gatos-/Saratoga. Assistance League a non-profit, philanthropic volunteer organization that identifies and addresses the needs within our community through caring and commitment in action. One of our favorite programs provides nutritious, hot lunches at the Saratoga Adult Senior Day Care Center four days a week. We also plan and provide craft projects at the center monthly. Our group of teens, Assisteens®, loves helping out with the seniors as often as they can. I believe we are a big asset to SASCC and add to the warm friendly atmosphere it is famous for. I am writing to ask your help to qualify Assistance League for the reduced rate at the beautiful new North Campus for two events. We are planning a “Crab Fest” fundraiser in February, and we are planning an Intergenerational Tea in May. These events are planned to raise money for all our philanthropic programs and will allow us to continue doing the good work we love doing in our local community. I understand that non profits may qualify for a reduced rate when renting facilities from Saratoga. I believe with all we provide to enrich the Senior Center and Saratoga we should be granted this dispensation. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 867-3374. I have attached a one page fact sheet on Assistance League of Los Gatos-Saratoga for your information. Thank you for your consideration, Linda Krain ALLGS.org 55 1 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 2, 2009 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Recreation & Facilities CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Claudia Cauthorn, DIRECTOR: Claudia Cauthorn Interim Recreation & Facilities Director SUBJECT: Request from Saratoga Rotary for Partial Waiver of Use Fees. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Consider and take action on the Saratoga Rotary’s request for the non-profit rate for use of the North Campus Fellowship Hall on January 25, 2010. REPORT SUMMARY: The existing Facility Use Policy governing the use of City buildings indicates that non-profit organizations do not qualify for the 50% fee reduction usually provided for non-profit uses when their event is for fundraising purposes. The Saratoga Rotary is requesting that they be granted the 50% fee reduction for their upcoming fundraiser: “Chef’s Delight Rotaplast Benefit Dinner” to be held in the Fellowship Hall at the North Campus on January 25, 2010. DISCUSSION: The Saratoga Rotary wishes to host this fundraising event to benefit their Guatemala Rotaplast Project scheduled for May 2010. Total funds needed for this project are $93,000. Rotaplast International is a non-profit humanitarian organization providing free reconstructive cleft palate operations and treatment for children in need worldwide. Last year, Saratoga Rotary Club sponsored a medical mission to Guatemala in May 14-25, 2008. Over 120 children received a chance for a new life after receiving cleft lip and/or cleft palate surgery. This year the Saratoga Rotary is planning this project for May 16-31, 2010 again to Guatemala City, Guatemala. Volunteers will perform medical surgeries, benefitting patients suffering from lip deformities and cleft palates. They will need $93,000 to mobilize the team. This event is one of the ways they will raise funds for this project. This event will feature six local chefs each preparing a signature dish. Wine will be served. A presentation on the Guatemala Rotaplast Project will be given and musical accompaniment by a string quartet from Saratoga High School will be provided. There will also be a silent auction of a Guatemalan painting and a “Sponsor a Child” drive. 56 2 Non-profit organizations are awarded a 50% discount on rental fees provided they meet the following criteria: · They must provide evidence of their non-profit status. A copy of their letter from the California Secretary of State’s office with their non-profit ID number indicated is required. · Their membership must be at least 51% Saratoga residents OR at least 51% of the persons in attendance at their event must be Saratoga residents. · The event must be open to the public, advertised as such and is for the public benefit · Non-profit groups requesting the use of City facilities for the purpose of fundraising or when an admission fee is charged will pay the regular rental fee. In addition, when alcohol is served, the event organizer is required to provide one security guard for every 100 persons in attendance. A $500 Security Deposit is required for all uses. RECOMMENDATION: The City of Saratoga’s existing non-profit use policy does not allow non-profit organizations undertaking fundraising activities to receive the 50% discount rate granted for their other activities. Staff is not authorized to make exceptions to Council policy; hence this item requires Council action. FISCAL IMPACTS: The Saratoga Rotary meets all the criteria for non-profit fees except the final one. Use fees for their desired time would be $480. Should their fee waiver request be granted, their fees would be reduced to $240. The Rotary’s goal is to raise $5,000 from the proceeds from this event. Admission will be $100 per person and they expect 110 guests. The Rotary will also encourage attendees to “Sponsor a Child” by contributing $500 to pay for each child’s cleft pallet repair. A Guatemalan painting will be auctioned off to add to the fundraising effort. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: · Alternate A: Grant the partial fee waiver request: This action would reduce the Rotary’s fee to $240 + the $25 processing fee. Waive the security deposit requirement. Waive the requirement for a security guard. · Alternate B: Deny the partial fee waiver request. The Rotary would pay $480 in use fees. Waive the $25 processing fee, the security deposit, and the security guard requirement. FOLLOW UP ACTION: Staff will undertake Council direction. Staff is preparing policy alternatives to address fundraising by non-profit users for the City Council’s consideration for the January 20, 2010 meeting.

Small businesses are an important part of the City’s economic health and provide a number of benefits to the community. Small businesses help keep money in the community. Making a purchase at a locally-owned store means your dollars are more likely to be spent on products or services provided by other local businesses and professionals. Additionally, shopping in Saratoga ensures that sales taxes will fund services in Saratoga such as park maintenance, road repairs, and law enforcement. Consumers pay sales tax in every city. The taxes collected in Saratoga directly benefit our community. Shopping locally is a great way to invest in Saratoga.

The City of Saratoga requires all businesses located in or operating in Saratoga to have a license issued by the City. This includes retail stores, contractors, and home businesses. Licenses allow the City to regulate businesses in Saratoga. Home-based business owners are sometimes unaware that they need a business license. Any resident who establishes a business, whether by registering a fictitious business name, getting a seller’s permit, or performing contract work, needs to apply for a license. The application process takes about two weeks, and the City charges a minimal business license fee. Revenues from license fees help fund infrastructure and services such as road maintenance and law enforcement that benefit businesses and customers alike. For more information about business licenses, visit www.saratoga.ca.us. 61 Village Façade Improvement Program In an effort to encourage private investment in Saratoga Village while beautifying the downtown area, the City offers a matching grant to businesses and property owners for façade improvements to storefronts in the Village that are visible from Big Basin Way.

Staff further recommends including electronic fax integration in the system. REPORT SUMMARY: During the June 3, 2009 City Council Meeting, staff was directed by Council to bring the IT Telecommunications System Upgrade Project back with additional analysis and information. BACKGROUND: The City houses a Toshiba Strata DK 280 private branch exchange (PBX) system, which provides telephone communication throughout the main City Hall administration buildings, the Joan Pisani Community Center, Corporation Yard, and Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council (SASCC). This system was installed prior to 1996 and is at the end of its technological life cycle. Since May 2009, the City’s telephone system failed multiple times over a five month period. From these recent incidents, continued use of the current telephone system clearly presents potential issues with staff’s ability to communicate with the public, and resources for the system are becoming very difficult to obtain. Over time, parts will become harder to acquire and service technicians with knowledge of the inner workings of legacy PBX systems are becoming less available. Performing necessary maintenance has become an added challenge. In September 2009, staff performed a full backup of the City’s telephone and voice data. However, it took several attempts to do so, and required the assistance of our telephone contractor to properly back up the essential data. The root cause was due to compatibility issues with the latest Windows Operating System which required a complete shutdown and reboot of the entire phone system. Considering the age and unpredictable reliability of the City’s telephone system, staff recommends replacement. For this discussion, some useful Communication System Infrastructure terminology includes the following: 65 2 Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) - PSTN refers to the network of the world’s telephone communication systems – business, home, cellular, international, etc. Private Branch Exchange (PBX) - A traditional PBX system is a box (like a computer) that switches and connects phone lines in the office to each other and to the PSTN. Each telephone on a PBX is connected with dedicated cabling. Phone systems can be programmed with unique or multiple extensions and with features such as the ability to hold, transfer, or conference calls. VoIP - A VoIP telephone system (or IP PBX) operates over existing network infrastructure rather than using dedicated cabling in the office. VoIP communication is achieved by digitizing a voice signal into small packets of information. These packets of information are transmitted from a user’s phone over the local network to the IP PBX then converted back to voice signals and sent out through the PSTN. Each telephone can be plugged into any network connection and the programming for that phone (user, extension, assigned features) goes with it, much like a laptop as it is moved from one location to another. OPTIONS: To research available options, staff looked into current applications using VoIP systems and PBX systems. Supplementing the research process, staff worked with consultants to develop accurate telephone upgrade options. Two proposed options for the Telecommunications Systems Project affecting the City Hall buildings, the Joan Pisani Community Center and SASCC, the Corporation Yard, and if desired, the North Campus are included below. Currently there are only two phone lines installed at North Campus. One line is located in the Sheriff’s Office and the other line is located at the receptionist desk in the administrative building. 1) Upgrade the legacy PBX telephone system with a new PBX telephone system. 2) Replace the existing PBX telephone system with a VoIP telephone system. For the Telecommunication Project, there are two Options with alternative scenarios. These options are discussed below: Option 1 – PBX Upgrade Upgrading to a new PBX system will replace the current PBX system. Below are two options for upgrading to a new PBX system. Alternative 1A – City Hall Campus This alternative will apply the PBX upgrade specifically to the main City Hall administration buildings, the Joan Pisani Community Center, Corporation Yard, and SASCC (excludes North Campus). To help reduce setup costs, the new system will be installed using the existing voice network architecture used by the current PBX system. New desktop phones incorporating up-to-date industry features will be deployed to each of the 67 phone locations currently in use at each of the facilities listed above. Alternative 1B – City Hall Campus + North Campus This alternative will apply the PBX upgrade as mentioned in “PBX upgrade Alternative 1A” with the addition of North Campus. 66 3 Three Centrex lines will be installed in the administrative building and Fellowship Hall. The telephone lines will provide phone service separate from City Hall and will be managed by our telephone company. Option 2 – VoIP Upgrade Upgrading to a VoIP system will restructure the entire voice and data network infrastructure. This will include, but is not limited to: * Removal of the current PBX system. * Removal of all essential hardware connected to the current PBX. * Installation of the new VoIP system over the network infrastructure. * Installation of network switches and Internet Protocol (IP) client licenses over the network. * Deployment of compatible components to be used with the new system such as new IP desktop phones and telephone accessories as required. Below are three options for upgrading to a new VoIP system. Alternative 2A – City Hall Campus This alternative will apply the VoIP upgrade specifically to the main City Hall administration buildings, the Joan Pisani Community Center, Corporation Yard, and SASCC (excludes North Campus). During the installation and configuration process, the VoIP system will be integrated with system components connecting to the City network. IP phones accompanied by IP client licenses will be deployed to each of the 67 phone locations currently in use at each of the facilities listed. Configurable security levels will segregate SASCC from the City network. Phone and network connectivity will be facilitated by a routed, firewalled connection. Alternative 2B – City Hall Campus + North Campus This alternative will apply the VoIP upgrade as mentioned in “VoIP upgrade Alternative 2A” with the addition of North Campus. At the moment, no network data infrastructure is installed in the North Campus administrative building and Fellowship Hall. In order to incorporate a VoIP system, network data cables will need to be installed in both buildings and a DSL or cable internet connection will also be required. In addition, a secured virtual private network (VPN) connection will be created through a firewall switch at North Campus to connect the two locations together. Alternative 2C – Electronic Fax Integration This alternative will apply the VoIP upgrade for City Hall and North Campuses, and will incorporate a fax server with a VoIP system to enable staff to receive faxes electronically through emailed PDF attachments. Additionally, staff will be able to print-to-fax or email-to-fax for outgoing faxes. DISCUSSION: Although cost comparisons between a new PBX system and a VoIP system are relatively similar, staff recommends a VoIP system based on its additional features, benefits, and ease of administration. A VoIP system requires no re-patching or configuration if line extensions are changed or moved. Therefore, ongoing vendor maintenance and servicing costs will be reduced. In addition, VoIP PC/Phone integration interfaces with desktop and electronic fax applications. With telephone systems generally lasting for ten years, staff believes a VoIP system best meets the City’s telecommunication needs. Staff recommends pursuing alternative 2C, which will include a VoIP upgrade for City Hall and North Campuses, and will incorporate a fax server with a VoIP system. 67 4 FISCAL IMPACTS: Below are matrices describing estimated fixed costs for upgrading to a new telephone system. On-going costs are included. Additional costs for this project may be incurred for undetermined hardware or installation as determined by the request for proposal. Funds are available in the IT Services Fund to transfer to the Capital Program for this system upgrade.

BACKGROUND: Energy Efficiency Block Grant (EECBG): The EECBG program was established by the federal Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 to reduce fossil fuel emissions in an environmentally sustainable manner, reduce energy consumption, and improve energy efficiency in the building, transportation, and other appropriate sectors. The program was funded for the first time when the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 was signed by President Obama. The U.S. Department of Energy provided direct allocations of EECBG funds to large municipalities, territories, Indian tribes, and states. The California Energy Commission received just over $49 million in EECBG monies, 60% of which must be allocated to small cities and counties that did not receive a direct EECBG allocation from the Department of Energy. The California Energy Commission will be distributing this portion of the EECBG funds to small cities and counties using a formula that is based on population and county unemployment rates. The City of Saratoga is eligible to receive just over $169,000. To receive EEBCG funds, small cities and counties must submit an application to the California Energy Commission by January 12, 2009 by first approving the attached resolution that includes: - Authorization of the grant application - Acceptance of the grant money - Determination of CEQA compliance 73 Page 2 of 3 To qualify for EECBG funds, applications must also meet cost effectiveness requirements specified by State law. Small cities and counties must propose projects that save a minimum of 10 million source British Thermal Units per $1,000 of EECBG funds spent. This requirement rules out more costly energy generation or efficiency improvements, such as solar. Furthermore, the California Energy Commission is requiring a feasibility study to verify cost effectiveness requirements of energy efficiency projects. EECBG guidelines are available online at http://www.energy.ca.gov/recovery/blockgrant.html. City of Saratoga EECBG Application: Alternatively, the California Energy Commission has identified a number of direct equipment purchase options that meet cost efficiency requirements and therefore do not require a feasibility study. Light-emitting diode (LED) streetlights are among the direct equipment purchase options listed by the California Energy Commission. Saratoga’s expected EECBG grant allocation would cover the cost of replacing all of the High Pressure Sodium streetlights along Big Basin Way in the Village with LED lights. The total cost to replace the existing Village streetlights with LED fixtures is estimated at $169,000. Requested Direction: Staff is requesting that the City Council approve the attached resolution to allow the City to submit an application to replace the existing street lights with LED fixtures. If the resolution is approved, the City will prepare the application and select a LED streetlight manufacturer from which to purchase the lights. To ensure that the design of the light fixtures fits with the look and feel of the Village, staff is proposing that the Council authorize the Village Ad Hoc Committee to work with staff to select a light fixture that meets the Village Design Guidelines and is consistent with the character of the Village. FISCAL IMPACTS: If the Council approves the attached resolution authorizing submittal of an application to the California Energy Commission to replace the existing Village streetlights along Big Basin Way with LEDs, the City’s EECBG allocation should cover the entire cost of purchasing and installing the new LED streetlights. By replacing the existing lights with LEDs, the City will use 50% less energy to power the streetlights in the Village and will, therefore, be eligible to switch to a lower PG&E billing rate in the downtown area. Furthermore, installing LED streetlights in the Village will reduce the City’s maintenance expenses by $5,000 per year. The City may also be eligible to receive a small project rebate from PG&E for upgrading the Village streetlights to LEDs.

BACKGROUND: State Energy Program – Residential Building Energy Audit and Retrofit Programs As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the State of California has received $226 million for the State Energy Program (SEP). Of this money, $95 million will be used to fund an Energy Efficiency Program that will provide grants to qualified organizations for municipal financing programs (SEP1) like CaliforniaFIRST, residential building energy audit and retrofit programs (SEP2), and municipal and commercial energy retrofit programs (SEP3). The State’s SEP funds are being administered by the California Energy Commission. SEP applications are due to the State by December 21, 2009. SEP2 – ABAG Home Energy Efficiency Audit and Retrofit Program ABAG is leading a regional effort to apply for $10-$12 million in SEP2 funds to create a regional home energy audit and retrofit program that will benefit all of the Bay Area counties. Although the exact programs and functions of the ABAG program have not been defined at this time, the program will be focused on establishing home energy audit and retrofit standards in the Bay Area, workforce development, marketing and outreach, and quality assurance. Ultimately, the program is intended to create green jobs, increase use and development of clean energy technologies, promote the local economy, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Letter of Commitment The California Energy Commission is requiring that all of the cities that intend to participate in the ABAG program submit a letter of commitment. The letter of commitment is due to ABAG in December 2009, so that it may be included in ABAG’s application for SEP funds. The letter of commitment: - Indicates that the City is in support of ABAG’s application for SEP2 funds 78 Page 2 of 2 - Authorizes ABAG as the lead agency in submitting the application - Supports the County of Santa Clara as the lead agency in implementing ABAG’s home energy efficiency audit and retrofit program in Santa Clara County - States the City will participate in program development and implementation in Saratoga and throughout the region - Indicates the City will provide a resolution authorizing ABAG to act as the lead agency in applying for and receiving SEP2 funds on behalf of Saratoga, contingent upon the selection of ABAG’s proposal for funding FISCAL IMPACTS: There are no fiscal impacts associated with approving the letter of commitment. However, staff time may need to be dedicated to the development and implementation of the ABAG home energy efficiency audit and retrofit program if SEP2 money is awarded to the program. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City will not submit a letter of commitment for the ABAG home energy audit and retrofit program and may not be eligible for services proved through the program if it receives SEP2 funds. ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): N/A FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): Implement Council direction. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Nothing additional.

I am authorized to sign this letter of commitment on behalf of the City of Saratoga pending final approval of the Council. Through participation in this residential building retrofit program, the City of Saratoga strives to create lasting market and behavioral changes resulting in the increased adoption of energy efficiency improvements and distributed generation of renewable energy sources for the property owners in the our jurisdiction. The City of Saratoga authorizes ABAG as the lead agency in submitting this application on behalf of our jurisdiction to provide funding to ensure the long-term success of this innovative residential building retrofit program. The City of Saratoga supports the role of the County of Santa Clara as the lead local implementer on behalf of the all of the local governments in the County. Local governments in all nine Counties are working together to create this unprecedented program to promote regional consistency, achieve economies of scale, and maximize quantified energy, water, and carbon reductions. The program will leverage other ongoing sources of customer incentives and financing, including utility energy efficiency incentives, Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing, and Retrofit Ramp-Up funds. Program elements will include credible programs standards, training to ensure a robust and capable workforce, an effective marketing and outreach strategy offering bundled incentives to attain high participation, and a strict quality assurance program to protect consumers and reduce local government liability. Aligned with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and California Energy Commission (CEC) State Energy Program strategies, our proposed program will increase green jobs, increase energy efficiency and deployment of renewable energy technologies, promote economic activity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The City of Saratoga will help to guide program development and implementation in our jurisdiction and throughout the region by serving on the appropriate steering committee, and coordinating with local 80 government program partners, and relevant internal departments. We will work collaboratively to ensure the success of the program. The City of Saratoga intends to provide the CEC, upon Council approval, with a governing board resolution contingent upon proposal selection for funding and inclusion in the Notice of Proposed Awards. The resolution will authorize for the collaborative lead agency bidder ABAG to apply for and receive funding on behalf of the City of Saratoga.
