Dear Saratoga Council Members,
I am writing to support the recent funding application from the Shady Shakespeare Theater Group. I have
attended the productions for the past four years (along with a group of about 8 friends) and have personally
donated and participated in fund raising efforts to support the amazing cultural work that the theater group
brings to the community. Just this year, they are having to start to charge for tickets because they couldn't
secure funding.
Every performance is a packed house and almost all of us attendees purchase and eat at local Saratoga
establishments before and after the shows, contributing to the local economy.
Please consider supporting the amazing exposure to minds young and old which the greatest writer in English
history brings through the talent and passion of the Shady Shakespeare Theater Group.
Yours hopefully
-Linda Knox

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: SUPPLEMENT - 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:
SummerHill Homes prefers to amend the SIA in accordance with the attached language (see
particularly the fourth "WHEREAS" clause and Section 13(a) regarding the Special Provision re
Indemnification for Pollution Legal Liability). Staff has determined that this would fall within
the parameters of the "Public Agency standard" for dealing with pollution legal liability. In fact,
the approach is largely based on the City of San Jose "Environmental Warranty" provision
provided in the Staff Report for this item. Removed is the inspection provision under clause (5)
but leaving it clear that the City is not agreeing to waive its rights to simply obtain the
information via discovery in the litigation which would probably ensue if SummerHill did not
honor its indemnification obligation. The Warranty would be limited in the same manner as the
Indemnification (e.g., $2M, 10 years, etc.). Saratoga would have the advantage of the Special
Provision re Indemnification for Pollution Legal Liability in addition to the Environmental
Warranty patterned after the City of San Jose Subdivision Improvement Agreement.
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.

the total estimated cost of the Works of improvement, nor shall the total number of requests
exceed three (3) in number nor shall the aggregate of all partial reductions exceed seventy -five
percent (75 %) of the original amount of the improvement security. No certificate of partial
completion of Works of improvement shall be construed: (1) to constitute acceptance of the
Works of improvement referenced in the certificate by City prior to the time formal action is
taken by City to accept such Works of improvement; (2) to constitute acceptance by City of any
offer of dedication of any interest in real property prior to the time formal action is taken by the
City Council to accept said dedication; (3) to constitute a waiver of any of the requirements
contained in this agreement. The decision to issue a certificate of partial completion of Works of
improvement shall be made by the Director of Public Works in his /her sole discretion. The
determination of the Director of Public Works shall be final and conclusive. Any reduction in
the amount of retained improvement security shall not reduce the obligations of Developer to
City under this Agreement.
In order for City to process a certificate of partial completion requesting reduction of the
retained amount of the improvement security, Developer shall furnish to the Director of Public
Works prior to or concurrent with the notice of commencing work, an itemized cost breakdown

Subject:
Heritage trees in Saratoga
Honorable City Council Members,
I wanted to write and encourage you to support a program honoring the heritage trees in our
City. While I have always enjoyed trees, Council member Hunter has provided me with a new
appreciation of their importance. As I drive around the Bay Area, I see many communities
without the type and number of trees we have and I feel fortunate that I live in an area with
large trees. So many times we take for granted the wonderful place we live in. I hope you
will vote to support City Council action related to preserving, honoring and adding trees in
the City.
Thank you for all of your efforts on behalf of the citizens and residents of Saratoga.
All the best,
Trish Cypher
408 Area Code — Additional Information
History:
• The 408 area code was created in 1959; it was split from the 415 area code
• The 831 area code was split from the 408 area code in 1998
Pre - fixes:
• These are the first three numbers of a 7 -digit number; for example the 868 and 867 prefixes are
used in Saratoga
• There are 1,000 total prefixes available
• Of these about 200 are not used, as it is not allowed to use a "0" or "1" to begin a prefix
• This reduces the available number to 800, of which 16 are for "special uses ", thus
reducing the total available prefixes to 784
• There are only about 43 prefixes left unused in the 408 Area Code
Overlay:
• With this approach, all calls using either the 408 or 669 area code would be considered "local"
• With this approach the estimated life span will be about 36 years, until something additional will
need to be done
• The City of San Jose and the telecommunications industry favor this option
Split:
• With this approach, all calls using either the 408 or 669 area code would be considered "local"
• With this approach the estimated life span for Area "A" will be about 39 years and for Area "B"
about 32 years
• In determining the sub - regions for a split, a main factor is the number of prefixes already in use
