grants.

Marcia
Ann,
This is from Jeff Schwartz, who is currently out of the State. He wanted one of us to read this for
him but unfortunately neither of us could attend this evening's meeting. Please include it in the City
Council's packet for tonight's meeting. Qune 2, 2010) Thank you very much,
Mayor and Council Members:
Instead of appointing someone for two and a half years, you have the clear option of appointing for
five months and then having the vacant seat up for election on the November ballot. That option is
specified in Government code 36512(c)3. It is black letter law. I explained to you at your last study
session that this option was available and that all that was required was that you pass an ordinance to
that effect. Since regular ordinances do not take effect for thirty days, and you must appoint sooner
than that, the ordinance would need to be passed as an urgency measure. The City Manager
reported to you that the City Attorney could give you the findings which would justify the urgency
ordinance.
At that point, the Council majority fell all over itself looking for excuses to not do that. You
worried it would bind future Council's. I explained it was like any other ordinance and could be
modified or repealed at any time by this or future Councils. Then you said it would take expensive
staff time to prepare a repeal. That is ridiculous on its face and why would a future Council want to
repeal an ordinance that allows the City to do the right thing with vacancies? There was discussion
that there was some risk because this state statute had not been tested at the appellate court level. I
would remind you that half the actions you take are based on state statutes that have not been taken
to the appellate court level and tested.
The reason you are grasping at straws is that you do not want to admit the obvious. Your campaign
promises about citizen participation were hollow and what you want to do is appoint a crony for
two and a half years and deny the residents of Saratoga their democratic right to vote for their
Council representatives. It's that simple.
I would like everyone in Saratoga to recognize that as we sit here, this Council could still change its
mind and decide to let us have an election for this vacant seat.

Tonight's agenda contains no item with respect to the Council vacancy topic. Therefore, I will print your email
and the one from you coming from Jeff and make it available to the council and to the public via a printed
document. It will also be included in the June 2nd meeting packet under communications from non - agendized
items.

Subject: for tonight's mtg-- RE:5th Council Seat
Mayor King, City Council Members,
As you recall, I wrote you earlier regarding the vacancy that Susie
Nagpal's untimely passing left on the City Council. I had suggested
that you leave the seat vacant until November, when Saratoga residents
can elect the Council members they want to represent them.
In discussing the situation with other Saratoga residents, I have
become convinced that my position on this issue is the opinion of the
majority of Saratogans.
If you feel that you absolutely must have a 5th member before
November, then I urge you to appoint a short term, qualified person
who will serve on the Council only until the fall elections. Saratoga
residents are just as capable of electing 4 new Council members as
they are electing 3 new members.
I respectfully offer 2 viable options: 1. Leave Susie's seat vacant
until November. 2. Appoint an interim representative, who cannot run
for City Council until the next election cycle.
Appointing a person to serve on the Council for 2 1/2 years without
public input is arrogance beyond acceptance! It is, of course, also
undemocratic! Saratoga deserves to elect its own representatives;
actually, we demand to elect our own City Council members!

AGENDA
1. 22480 Mt. Eden Road
The applicant has filed an application for annexation approval. The parcel is
approximately 2.68 acres. The property is contiguous with the western limits of
the City and is within the City's Sphere of Influence and Urban Service
Boundary. The property manager will take the Council on a tour of the 2.68 acre
parcel and the adjacent 35 acre parcel that was annexed to the City in 2006.
As detailed in the staff report, there are many elements to the application that
would be considered by the Planning Commission and City Council prior to a
final decision on the annexation. The proposal includes a lot merger, adoption of
an Agricultural Preserve /Open Space Zoning Overlay, approval of a Williamson
Act contract for agricultural land preservation, a conditional use permit and
variation from standards for the merged parcels, and design review for a remodel
of the existing home and a pre - annexation agreement on the 35 acre parcel.
