EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. 2-666 AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: December Jq 1995 CITY MGR.
ORIGINATING DEPT. FINANCE
SUBJECT: 1995/96 BUDGET AMENDMENTS
Recommended Motion(s): Approve resolution amending the Fiscal Year
1995/96 Budget.
Report Summary: Attached is a resolution amending the 1995/96
Budget for the following two specific items: 1) Packard Foundation
Grant for the Volunteer Program and 2) Nelson Gardens Environmental
Impact Report (EIR). Also included with the resolution are a
Budget Resolution Supporting Worksheet and Resolutions Approved
schedule for consideration.
Attached are explanatory memorandums from the Recreation and
Community Development Directors for the budget amendments.
There is no overall impact to the General Fund balance as a result
of these amendments because appropriations are offset by new
revenues.
Fiscal Impacts: Overall revenues increase by $43,540.00. Overall
expenditures increase by $43,540.00. The Packard Grant totals
$20,000.00, however, budget amendments address current fiscal year
requirements only, i.e. FY 1995/96. Accordingly, only $10,000.00
is included in this resolution. The remaining $10,000.00 will be
programmed into the 1996/97 Budget during budget deliberations.
Specific changes by Fund are as follows:
Fund Revenues Expenditures
01- General Fund $33,540.00 $33,540.00
40- Recreation $10,000.00 $10,000.00
Follow Up Actions: None.
Consequences of .Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: Grant funded
volunteer program will not implemented and Nelson Gardens EIR work
will not be completed.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 20, 1995 CITY MGR.: .,
ORIGINATING DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS DEPT. HEAD: +'.
SUBJECT: Consideration and Adoption of Performance Standards for
Storm Water Management Program
Recommended Motion(s):
1. Review and comment on the Draft Performance Standards for the
Industrial/ Commercial Discharger Inspection Program and the
Illicit Connection /Illegal Dumping Identification and Elimination
Program.
2. Move to adopt both Performance Standards for the City and
authorize staff to submit them to the Regional Water Quality
Control Board.
Report Summary:
Background: The new five year storm water (NPDES) permit issued in
August by the Regional Water Quality Control Board requires each
co- permittee to develop, adopt and incorporate performance
standards for specific storm water pollution control measures
identified in the permit. Between January 1 and December 31 of
next year, performance standards for the highest priority control
measures must be developed and submitted to the RWQCB according to
the following schedule set forth in the permit:
1/1/96 - Industrial /Commercial Discharger Inspection
Program
Illicit Connection /Illegal Dumping Identification
and Elimination Activities
3/1/96 - Storm Drain System Operations and Maintenance
Activities
Public Information and Participation Activities
7/1/96 - Water Utility Operations and Maintenance
Activities
9/1/96 - New Development and Construction Activities
12/1/96 - Public Streets, Roads, and Highways Operations and
Maintenance Activities
Local Standards: Rather than struggle through the process of
developing performance standards through the 15 member countywide
nonpoint source pollution control program, the four West Valley
Cities (Campbell, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno & Saratoga) have opted to
develop performance standards of their own, better suited to the
needs of the four cities and the common issues concerning water
pollution from urban runoff that we face.
Attached to this report are draft copies of the first two
performance standards which need to be adopted by the City and
submitted to the RWQCB by January 1. These are the performance
standards for the Industrial /Commercial Discharger Inspection
Program, and the Illicit Connection and Illegal Dumping
Identification and Elimination Activities. Because the permit
obligates the City to develop the Performance Standards through a
process which includes, among other things, opportunities for
public participation, the Performance Standards will be placed on
City Council agendas for consideration and adoption. In the future
however, I will endeavor to place these on the agendas of Adjourned
Regular Meetings as these are better suited to the kind of
discussion I would expect the issue of storm water management
Performance Standards to generate.
Each of the Performance Standards are fairly technical and are
drafted to meet the stated criteria in the permit for Performance
Standards which is to define the level of implementation necessary
to demonstrate the control of pollutants in storm water to the
maximum extent practicable. Additionally, factors such as
applicability, cost and technical feasibility are considered when
determining the level at which a particular Performance Standard
should be implemented.
Industrial/ Commercial Inspection Program: Briefly, the Performance
Standard for the Industrial /Commercial Inspection Program for
Saratoga envisions incorporating nonpoint source inspections of
targeted facilities (gas stations, dry cleaners, restaurants) with
the annual fire code inspections of these establishments conducted
by Saratoga Fire District personnel. Other existing inspection
programs carried out within the City such as Source Control
inspections by POTW personnel, Health Dept. inspections of
restaurants, and Haz -Mat and Haz -Waste inspections performed by the
County, will serve to supplement the primary NPS inspections. The
City will retain responsibility for following up on any violations
noted during the NPS inspections using enforcement mechanisms
existing within the Municipal Code.
IC /ID Identification & Elimination Activities: For Illicit
Connection /Illegal Dumping Identification and Elimination
Activities, the proposed Performance Standard contemplates IC /ID
identification and elimination occurring during the routine storm
drain cleaning and maintenance work performed by the West Valley
Sanitation District, and whenever discharge or dumping incidents
are reported to the City. Based on pilot studies performed by the
countywide NPS program, and the compilation of data from previous
efforts undertaken in Saratoga, it does not appear to be necessary
to implement an active program of searching for illicit connections
to the storm drain system.
At your meeting, the Coordinator for the West Valley Cities Storm
Water Management Program (Kelly Carroll) will be on hand to review
the draft Performance Standards in greater detail and to answer
whatever specific questions might arise. Ms. Carroll will also be
able to explain how the West Valley Cities Performance Standards
will be implemented differently by each of the four cities, and the
similarities and differences between the West Valley Performance
Standards and the countywide Standards. Future Performance
Standards which the City is required to adopt will also be
previewed at your meeting.
Fiscal Impacts•
There are no direct fiscal impacts as a result of adopting the two
Performance Standards. While there are certainly costs associated
with implementation of the Performance Standards, it is difficult
to quantify what those costs are. Since the Performance Standards
are built on successfully carrying out other storm water management
activities, (i.e. inspection programs, storm drain maintenance
activities, discharge response programs, educational efforts,
etc.) , it is the combined costs of those activities which will
determine the cost of the Performance Standards. In any event,
there are sufficient funds programmed in the adopted budget in
Activity 28 (Storm Water Management) to implement the various storm
water management activities at the projected levels necessary to
adhere to the proposed Performance Standards.
Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact:
The countywide program staff is aware of the West Valley Cities'
efforts. A copy of the Industrial /Commercial Inspection Program
Performance Standard has been provided to the Saratoga Chamber of
Commerce.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions:
The Performance Standard(s) will not be adopted and /or staff will
not be authorized to submit the Performance Standard(s) to the
RWQCB.
Follow Up Actions:
Both Performance Standards will be finalized and submitted to the
RWQCB by January 1.

How to use this booklet
This booklet is a compilation of Performance Standards (PSs) which are required by NPDES
Permit No. CAS029718 (adopted by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco
Bay Region on August 23, 1995). A Performance Standard is a guide to ensure that an adequate
level of effort (also called inaximum extent practicable or MEP) is given to the level of effort
invested by a City/Town in carrying out specified storm water pollution prevention activities (also
called control measures).1
This booklet is organized so that all required PSs are formatted alike. The General Format for
Performance Standard Packets is described on Page iii."Each control measure (CM) which
requires a PS is described in separate chapters of this booklet. Each chapter is comprised of two
components: 1) the Control Measure Performance Standard (outline) and 2) Community Specific
Application which describes how the PS is achieved by the City /Town.
All components are formatted alike for cross - reference purposes. Subsections are created by using
the chapter number (whole number) and a decimal number. The whole number refers to the CM
and the decimal number refers to the corresponding General Format for Performance Standard
Packet requirement, as numbered on Page iii. Further subdivisions are designated by a capital
letter and represent specific requirements for that CM.
In general, the established level of effort for a CM is highly associated with overall land area,
geographic location and features, demographics, typical land use and municipal service
capabilities. First, the City/Town strives to balance and integrate the storm water pollution
program with other municipal services and programs. Second, within the storm water program,
the City/Town balances and prioritizes various storm water pollution CMs in order to create an
efficient and cost - effective program.
The Specific applicability of a PS is based upon general municipal information presented in the
Introduction to this booklet gives an overview of the City/Town's overall land area, geographic
location and features, demographics, land use characteristics and municipal services. Additional
information which is pertinent to a particular CM is included within the relevant Community
Specific Application component.
1 Note: For purposes of clarity the following assumptions are made: 1) Control Measures (CM) are defined to be
specific programs which are intended to address a particular source of pollution and are the basic components of a
Municipal Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP); 2) Best Management Practice (BMP) are defined to be tasks,
management practices, policies, protocols, etc. which, when employed, accomplishes the reduction or elimination of
a pollutant. A CM is comprised of or utilizes one or more BMPs, and BMPs may be tailored to fit specific incidents or
situations.

Performance Standards
General Format for Performance Standard Packet
Performance Standards (PSs) are required by Municipal NPDES Permit, No. CAS029718, issued
by Regional Water Quality Control Board, SF Bay Region, on August 23, 1995. In addition to the
requirements summarized below, the Permit also requires that PSs be "developed through a
process which includes opportunities for public participation" (Provision C.2.b. ).
A Performance Standard is defined as the level of implementation necessary to demonstrate
the control of pollutants in storm water to the maximum extent practicable.
0.1 Criteria for Implementation
A PS may be implemented at various levels of implementation. The criteria used to establish
the level of implementation includes applicability, economic and technical feasibility, design,
operation, maintenance and otherwise implementation of a control measure (CM), to achieve
pollutant reduction or pollution prevention benefits, to the maximum extent practicable.
The level of implementation is said to be maximum extent practicable (MEP) when the
following factors are addressed:' l) Effectiveness: Will the CM address a pollutant of concern?
2) Regulatory Compliance: Is the CM in compliance with storm water regulations as well as
other environmental regulations? 3) Public acceptance: Does the CM have public support? 4)
Cost: Will the cost of implementing the CM have a reasonable relationship to the pollution
control benefits to be achieved? 5) Technical Feasibility: Is the CM technically feasible
considering soils, geography, water resources, etc.?
0.2 Baseline Components (PERFORMANCE STANDARD)
The PS is comprised of baseline components which are key parts of a CM. Baseline
components typically are tasks or tools such as SOPs or protocols (also called best management
practices or BMPs). It is not the intention of this section to give details of BMPs, but rather to
reference them as a part of the implementation of baseline components.
0.3 Method of Performance Verification
Performance verification is achieved through documentation and record keeping. In some cases
periodic auditing of the CM may also be employed.
0.4 Annual Report and Certification Form
Certification that conformance with the PS has been maintained, as is described in Community
Specific Application; to be submitted in fulfillment of Annual Report on tasks.2
Community Specific Application '
Describes how the PS is achieved by the municipality; addresses each of the sections above.

C. Design, Operation and Maintenance
1.0 Control Measure: NPS Inspection Program
• The design of an Industrial Inspection Program is its structure and administration. It
should include Baseline Components (PERFORMANCE STANDARD) and
method(s) of communication; may be via intra- agency arrangements (between agency
staff /departments), inter - agency agreements (between separate agencies) and/or
contracts for services.
• The operation of an Industrial Inspection Program consists of the implementation of
the Baseline Components (PERFORMANCE STANDARD).
• The maintenance of an Industrial Inspection Program is what it takes to keep it
functioning. This may be accomplished through annual evaluations, re- affirmation of
agreements, renewal of contract, etc. May include modifications or adjustments to
BMPs required to improve efficiency of the program (determined through annual
evaluations) and/or based upon actual field conditions.
1.2 Baseline Components (PERFORMANCE STANDARD)
A. Administration
• Authority for Inspection and Enforcement
• Designation of CM contact, Inspection and Enforcement entities
• Designation of Facilities to be Inspected and Inspection Frequency
• Referral (including complaints) and Enforcement Protocols
• Documentation Tools (checklists /forms, database information, etc.)
B. Staff Awareness
Annual distribution of staff targeted information on the detection of illegal discharges
to the storm drain system; may be achieved through existing training programs and/or
through direction given during staff meetings.
C. Implementation
Occurring during each NPS inspection (may include follow -up inspections):
• Determination of illegal discharges
• Determination and assurance of compliance with local NPS ordinance and other
applicable storm water regulations
• Distribution of Public Education and Information about NPS issues

IAA Community Specific Application
Control Measure: NPS Inspection Program
LOA Community Specific Application: NPS Inspection
Program
The West Valley Cities/Town of Campbell, Los Gatos and Saratoga have established a NPS
Inspection Program which is intended to supplement existing discharge inspection programs. The
purpose of the NPS Inspection Program is to control non -storm water discharges from
industrial/commercial facilities, to determine compliance with local storm water ordinances and
to supplement an existing discharge inspection programs. NPS issues include non - hazardous, low
threat and low volume types of discharges that are not currently regulated by existing inspection
programs. The NPS Inspection Program targets identified facilities and key activities which are
recognized as significant sources of storm water pollution.
The City of Monte Sereno is a participant in the West Valley NPS Program, however because
there are no industrial or commercial facilities within the jurisdiction an Industrial Inspection
Program and Performance Standard is not an applicable NPDES Permit requirement.
1.1 Criteria for Implementation
A. Applicability
There are no active municipal landfills, hazardous waste treatment, disposal or recovery
facilities, or superfund sites/facilities within the West Valley Cities. There are identified
industrial types of facilities /activities which contribute to storm water pollution, but are limited
in variety and number.
Identified `types of facilities /activities' likely to be significant contributors to storm water
pollution is based upon recommendations by the SCV NPS Program, RWQCB and SWRCB.1
Such identified facilities and activities were then cross referenced to typical
industrial/commercial facilities actually located within the municipality (i.e., by business
license and zoning criteria), illegal dumping and incident response history over the past three
to four years and information collected through storm drain inlet and line cleaning over the past
three to four years, and with the help of the Santa Clara County Central Fire Protection District,
cross references were made to facilities which are included in the Hazardous Materials
database (Campbell and Los Gatos only). All databases are dynamic and may vary slightly
from year to year, however the nature and general distribution of facility and activity types
should not vary. Under these assumptions, the Industrial Inspection program will use this
information as the basis for the building the baseline components of the inspection program.
Table 1.1 lists the identified target facilities for the NPS Inspection Program for the WV Cities.
The majority of businesses located within the municipalities are retail, office, and consulting
services. For the City/Town of Campbell and Los Gatos, the Hazardous Materials Inspections
Program cover the broadest range of facilities which may contribute to storm water pollution.
Typical facilities which fall under the HazMat Storage Inspections includes, but is not limited
to auto repair /related shops, machine shops, photo /processing shops, dry cleaners, nurseries,

The main identified pollutants of concern are 1) Hazardous Materials - liquid, solids, gases in
storage or waste form. This includes, but is not limited to chemicals, pesticides, (used) motor
oil, vehicle fluids, corrosives, petroleum products, paints, and solvents; 2) Grease - includes but
not limited to food oils, grease, food waste; 3) Sanitary and other wastewaters - includes but
not limited to industrial pre- treated discharges which are intended for disposal to the sanitary
sewer system, washwaters from food establishments, vehicle and equipment washing; and 4)
Solid waste /garbage and other stored material and equipment exposed to rainfall or storm water
runoff (non - hazardous).
B. Economic and Technical Feasibility
Authority to conduct inspections, enforce municipal ordinances and protect municipal facilities
(storm drain system) is through Ordinance/Municipal Code, as summarized below.
Table 1.2: Applicable Regulatory Authority to Conduct Inspections, Enforcement and
Protection of Storm Drain System
Also a factor in determining feasibility of the NPS inspection program is S131082, which
requires that the number of existing inspection programs be streamlined and/or combined in an
effort to reduce regulatory impacts to businesses (although still under development, SB 1082 is
recognized as a very real objective and supported by business/industry).

Control Measure: NPS Inspection Program
In addition to regular inspection programs, there are other programs which promote proper
disposal and recycling of solid waste, hazardous waste /materials and construction debris. There
is a county -wide program targeting small business who generate and must properly dispose of
low volumes of hazardous waste (SQG - small quantity generators). Internal NPS programs
(other CMs) which complement the NPS Inspection Program are the Illicit Connection/ Illegal
Dumping Program and Storm Drain System Operations and Maintenance Program. (See
Table i on page iv)
Table 1.3: Existing Inspection Programs
Given the above conditions, three levels of service (LOS) for implementation were considered.
• LOS 1: response driven program, based upon current staff levels
Such a program is projected to be moderately effective due to existing inspection
programs and because of the limited number of facilities who would be inspected for
NPS purposes. Potential prevention of storm water pollution would be minimal since
the facility is contacted only after an illegal discharge has been released; effectiveness
may be increased through follow -up site visits, which include all similar facilities
within the area of discharge. This LOS does not address the situation of multiple or un-
coordinated inspection routines. Cost of program would vary with number and types of
incidents which are reported.
• LOS2: routine inspections at identified facilities of concern, by utilizing a) existing/
expanding municipal staffing or b) contract services
Currently there are existing inspection programs in place which regulate illegal
discharges from industrial/commercial facilities. Many of these programs are
conducted independently from the municipality (not contract services). Table 1.3
summarizes existing inspection programs.

Performance Standards
LOA Community Specific Application
Control Measure: NPS Inspection Program
Currently none of the WV Cities have established inspection programs which routinely
visit or inspect existing facilities. Therefore the use of established programs appears to
be the most cost - effective method of conducting NPS inspections. Utilization of
existing programs builds upon established relationships and encourages compliance by
emphasizing the inter - relationship between the inspection programs. Projected
effectiveness is high because this promotes consistency with other protocols for
determining illegal discharges, referrals, enforcement, etc. Cost of program would be
focused on addressing the most problematic /significant contributors to storm water
pollution.
• LOS3: routine inspections at all facilities within jurisdiction
Many of the businesses within the community are not significant contributors to storm
water pollution and so cost of program would not be focused on addressing the most
problematic /significant contributors to storm water pollution. In areas where facilities
are identified to be less significant contributors adequate control of pollutants is
maintained through street sweeping and storm drain maintenance, as well as through
targeted informational material which is distributed to all applicable businesses. These
CMs better address the more prevalent concern regarding pollutants originating from
�hicular traffic in those areas.
The WV cities will implement at LOS2, for reasons stated above. Consideration was given to
integrated NPS inspection services with several entities.
For Campbell and Los Gatos it appears that an integrated NPS inspection program with
Hazardous Materials Storage Inspections is the best alternative based upon cost, practicality
and similar inspection and enforcement policies.
For the City of Saratoga, the Saratoga Fire District was selected as the best alternative for
integrated NPS and Fire Code (and building code) inspections based upon opportunity,
practicality and similar inspection and enforcement policies.
C. Design, Operation and Maintenance
The City/Town of Campbell and Los Gatos have develpp and are executing contract services
with Santa Clara County Central Fire Protection Dis"irict for integrated HazMat/NPS
inspections for designated facilities. The initial contract is to be approved by respective
Council/Boards and implementation to occur in fiscal year 1995 -96. Renewal and
modifications, as necessary, to reflect changes in NPS issues and field conditions are to occur
annually, by written mutual agreement of all parties.

The City of Saratoga has an established relationship with the Saratoga Fire District (separate
entities). Through a series of meetings and by mutual agreement, Saratoga Fire District will
integrate NPS inspections into a combined NPS/Building/Fire Code inspection program for
designated facilities. Saratoga Fire District's jurisdiction covers about 50% of Saratoga,
including the Village (downtown) area where the majority of the restaurants are located. There
are a few facilities which fall outside of the Saratoga Fire District jurisdiction and at this time
will not be addressed by this agreement. These facilities represent a very small number and
little significance to overall contributions to storm water pollution. These facilities are,
however, inspected regularly under other existing inspection programs (See Table 1.3) and the
areas are included in Saratoga's regular storm drain maintenance, street sweeping and ICID
response programs (See Table i, p.iv). Such facilities may be covered under separate specific
NPS cooperative agreements in the future, however it is noted that even at this time such
existing inspection programs are being educated and enlisted to integrate NPS issues into their
programs.

NPS violation enforcement actions are per NPS ordinance and as outlined in municipal spill
response plans (as applicable).
Due to limited staffing and the long - standing, established relationship between the City of
Saratoga and the Saratoga Fire District, most communication occurs verbally.
B. Staff Awareness
Information on the detection of illegal discharges to the storm drain system usually is achieved
through direction given to municipal staff during staff meetings. Municipal staff and contract
inspectors will be encouraged to participate in the anticipated SCV NPS Program Industrial
Inspector Training Workshop(s). Information regarding NPS issues will be passed along to
contract agencies (as well as municipal staff) annually through re- stocking and distribution of
NPS brochures or other informational material. Municipal staff (and contracting inspectors)
may participate in SCV NPS Program subcommittee (pertinent issues).
C. Implementation
Typically NPS inspections will be scheduled and routine. They may however, occur during any
scheduled, unscheduled, follow -up or response to complaints, spill reports, etc., which prompts
an inspection.
During each NPS inspection a determination of illegal discharges will be made through
verification of valid permits, licenses and applicable documents. Determination and assurance
of compliance with local ordinance and other applicable storm water regulations will be
accomplished through visual observation of exposed portions of the facility site, including but
not limited to outdoor storage areas, process areas, catch basins storm drains and adjacent water
bodies.
Each inspection will be documented and a copy left with the facility subsequent to the
inspection, with notation of any deficiencies. A copy will be retained by the inspecting agency
and referrals distributed appropriately.
Public education and information about NPS issues will be disseminated either verbally or in
written form. Examples are copies of local NPS Ordinance (as applicable), SCV NPS produced
literature (related to NPS pollution and BMPs), and copies of inspection forms.
D. Items of Inspection Checklist
See Attachment
E. Follow -up Inspection and Enforcement Action
Follow -up inspections may occur or be prompted by a referral which originates from an
inspecting agency (contract or not), another internal department or from an outside party, such
as a complaint or incident report.
Follow -up inspections will be conducted by the most appropriate enforcement agency. Follow -
up inspections will have similar characteristics as to those described in the Implementation
Section above, as warranted by the situation. The primary focus of a follow -up inspection will
be to ensure that compliance with local NPS regulations has been achieved. Enforcement
actions will be per protocol, as applicable.

and accidental discharges (response driven) and elimination of illicit connections to the storm
drain system.
2.1 Criteria for Implementation
A. Applicability
• Identified Sources of Concerns
- Residential
- Commercial/Light Industrial Facilities
- Older Businesses and Heavy Industrial Areas
• Identified Pollutants of Concern 2
- Certain heavy metals
- Sediment from erosion
- Petroleum hydrocarbons
- Microbial pathogens of domestic sewage origin
- Certain pesticides
B. Economic and Technical Feasibility
• Authority to conduct investigations, enforce municipal ordinances and protect

West Valley Cities 2.OA Community Specific Application
Performance Standards Control Measure: Illicit Connection/ Illegal Dumping Response Program
2.OA Community Specific Application: Illegal Dumping/Illicit
Connection Response Program
The WV Cities/Town of Campbell, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno and Saratoga have established an
Illicit Connection/ Illegal Dumping Program Program which is intended to reduce storm water
pollution due to illegal or accidental discharges to the storm drain system. Primarily, this CM
is response driven and supplements other existing response programs (i.e., Hazardous Material
Spills) and other NPS CMs. This CM focuses on discharges which actually reach or poses a
significant and direct threat to the storm drain system.
2.1 Criteria for Implementation
A. Applicability
Identified Sources of Concern by the SCV NPS Program are residential areas, commercial/
light industrial facilities, older businesses and heavy industrial areas.' There are no heavy
industrial facilities, and only limited commercial/light industrial types of facilities within the
West Valley Cities.

The main pollutants of concern which have been identified in the WV Cities are hazardous
materials (which may be either in storage or waste form), grease, sanitary and other
wastewaters, non - hazardous solid waste /garbage and other outdoor- stored material exposed to
rainfall or storm water runoff. Examples of the above categories includes, but is not limited to:
chemicals, pesticides, (used) motor oil, vehicle fluids, corrosives, petroleum products, paints,
and solvents, food oils, grease, food waste, industrial pre - treated discharges which are intended

ICID incidents which are not typically regulated by an existing program and have been
identified as typical NPS incidents are small quantities/spills with regards to vehicle fluids,
paints, grease solid wastes (garbage, yard waste) and discharges associated with construction
activities/materials, and commercial washwaters.
B. Economic and Technical Feasibility
Authority to conduct investigations, enforce municipal ordinances and protect municipal
facilities (storm drain system) is through ordinance /municipal code, as summarized below in
Table 2.3.

low volumes of hazardous waste (SQG - small quantity generators). Internal NPS programs
(other CMs) which complement the NPS Inspection Program are the Industrial Inspection
Program and Storm Drain System Operations and Maintenance Program. (See Table i on
page iv)
A basic discharge response program is an applicable CM for all the WV Cities because
accidental or other illegal dumping types of discharges do occur, however the types of incidents
is typically un- varied due to the limited land use characteristics (Table A, on page v,). In order
to support an efficient IC/ID program which utilizes existing resources (such as existing
response programs), the WV Cities implement a basic "report and respond" type of program
which directs all reports of incidents to call 9 -1 -1 (this initiates the IC/ID response process).
It appears that illicit connections (ICs) to the storm drain system are not a major concern nor
probable based upon typical land use characteristics (See Table A, on page v) and pilot IC
investigation studies conducted by WVSD in the WV Cities. Although ICs have been identified
as being a low priority source of storm water pollution, routine detection for ICs i_� conducted
through integration with the Storm Drain O &M and Cleaning Program (except in Monte
Sereno, see C. Design, Operation and Maintenance below).
C. Design, Operation and Maintenance
Each agency has prepared and implements a response plan to illegal dumping, which provides
protocols for responding to reports of illegal discharges into the storm drain system and public
right of way.2 The WV Cities contract with WVSD for response /clean -up of spills which enter
a storm drain (in addition to regular storm drain cleaning). Three WV Cities (Monte Sereno is
the exception) contract with WVSD to conduct routine storm drain maintenance and illicit
connection detection. Monte Sereno, due to its size, land use characteristics and simple storm
drain system characteristics, has found it more economical to contract with a separate
contractor for storm drain cleaning (labor) and rely on its WVSD contract for maintenance and
IC detection on an as needed basis.
All contracts have been in place since 1992, are renewed annually, and have reached a stable
implementation level.
2.2 Baseline Components
A. Administration
See Table 2.3 for the summary of regulatory authority to conduct inspections, investigations,
enforcement and protection of storm drain systems. The WV Cities advertise and encourage the
use of 9 -1 -1 as the "incident reporting method ". Once an incident is reported, protocols
provided in the municipal response plan initiate appropriate response, referral and follow -up
processes. Designation of investigation and enforcement entities are dependant on the actual
incident itself, and occurs at the time an incident is responded to. Typically only incidents
which do not involve hazardous materials or fall under another enforcement agency's authority
will be enforced through the NPS Ordinance. (see Figure)

inspectors will be encouraged to participate in the anticipated SCV NPS Program Industrial
Inspector Training Workshop(s). Information regarding NPS issues will be passed along to
contract agencies (as well as municipal staff) annually through re- stocking and distribution of
12/15/95 icid_a.pfs
kjc 2.OA - 4
West Valley Cities 2.OA Community Specific Application
Performance Standards Control Measure: Illicit Connection/ Illegal Dumping Response Program
C. Implementation
Typically illicit connection (IC) investigations will be scheduled/routine through the storm
drain maintenance and operations procedures. Further investigations of ICs will be pursued
when a reasonable suspicion or data exists which indicate the existence of an IC. Investigation
methods will be dependant on the nature and location of the suspected connection.
Typically illegal dumping (ID) responses will be dependant upon actual incidents which occur.
The communications /dispatcher role is to forward calls in a timely manner to the Fire
Department based upon given information, current dispatch status and protocols contained in
the municipality's Spill Response Plan. The Fire Department is responsible for determination
of a hazardous materials or public safety hazard situations. Information relayed back to the
communications/dispatch helps to determine the next steps and further referrals or contacts to
be made.
Public education and information about NPS issues will be disseminated either verbally or in
written form. Examples are copies of local (NPS) Ordinance (as applicable), SCV NPS
produced literature (related to NPS pollution and BMPs), and copies of violation/notification
forms (as applicable).
D. Follow -up Inspection and Enforcement Action
Typically follow -up and enforcement actions will be conducted by the most appropriate
enforcement agency. The primary focus of a follow -up inspection will be to ensure that
compliance with local NPS regulations has been achieved. Enforcement action will be per
protocol, as applicable.
2.3 Method of Performance Verification
A. Record Keeping
A record for all investigations /responses which are completed will be kept with the inspecting
agency. A copy of completed forms for designated NPS violations, follow -up information (as
applicable) will be retained by the enforcing agency. Tracking of NPS violations will be kept
with the enforcing agency. Information regarding NPS inspections will be available (upon
request) from the municipal contact person for this CM, as listed in the municipality's Spill
Response Plan.
B. Annual Evaluation
• Is the advertised method of incident reporting being utilized?
• Are response personnel (including the person(s) receiving initial incident reports)
aware of storm water pollution issues and regulations?
• What types of discharges are most commonly observed or reported?
• Does there appear to be a notable contributor or particular area susceptible to ICAD
incidents?
• Do the violators (as applicable) tend to be aware of storm water pollution issues and

This manual and poster have been developed by the Santa Clara Valley Nonpoint Source Pollution
Control Program (Program). The Program is a coalition of local public agencies that includes the
Santa Clara Valley Water District. Santa Clara County, and all of the cities in the County whose
stormwater drains through a storm drain system to San Francisco Bay. The purpose of the Program
is to reduce pollutants in area creeks and in the Bay.
You have seen one of the Program's projects if you have noticed the stencil, along the curb at the
storm drain inlets, that reads "No Dumping! Flows to Bay."
The Program is working with several different types of businesses who may be routinely discharging
wastewater or washwater to street gutters or into parking lots -- polluted water that ultimately ends
up flowing into the storm drains. Anything that flows into a storm drain flows directly into our
creeks, and then on to the Bay, without any type of treatment or cleaning. This simple fact is not
widely known.
The many discharges that happen every day throughout our County are now understood to be a
threat to the quality of the water in our County, the wildlife in our creeks, and the general health of
the Bay.
Please take the time to read this manual. You may discover that you need to make some changes in
the way that you do business to be sure that your establislunent is not contributing to water
pollution. Educating your employees and contractors about these issues is important. We are
providing this poster and the brochure originals in the back pocket of this manual to help you to
convey this message to your employees and contractors.
If you have any questions about the information contained in the manual or would like more
manuals. posters, or brochure originals, please call the Santa Clara Valley Nonpoint Source

Dear Mr. Drury:
This letter transmits Order 95 -180, the NPDES permit for the Santa Clara Valley Nonpoint
Source Pollution Control Program (the Program), which was reissued on August 23, 1995.
This permit requires implementation of the Program's Storm Water Management Plan (the
Plan) and endorses and expands upon the process established by the Plan within which the
Plan will be evaluated and improved at least annually. Specifically, it requires establishment
of performance standards for the effective implementation of actions identified in or by the
Plan or by the permit. It also maintains a focus established by the first permit on the
prevention and control of specific metal pollutants in storm water discharges.
Please call Keyvan Moghbel of my staff at (510) 286 -0429 if you have any questions about
the Order. .
Sincerely,
Bruce H. Wolfe ;
Senior Engineer

Performance Standards may be based upon special studies or other activities conducted
by the Dischargers, literature review, or special studies conducted by other programs
or dischargers. Performance Standards shall include the baseline components to be
accomplished and the method to be used to verify that the Performance Standard has
been achieved. Following the addition of a Performance Standard, acceptable to the
Executive Officer, to the Storm Water Management Plan, all Dischargers for which the
Performance Standard is applicable shall adhere to its implementation.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. S AGENDA IT]
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 20, 1995 CITY MGR.
ORIGINATING DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS DEPT. HEA1
SUBJECT: Ordinance revising speed zone designations on portions of
Quito Road and Saratoga Avenue
Recommended Motion(s):
Move to introduce the Ordinance waiving further reading.
Report Summary:
Every five years, the City must update its Speed Zone Survey to
continue to be able to enforce-the established speed limits along
City streets through the use of radar. The survey is filed with
the Traffic Court and provides the basis for the established speed
limits on streets throughout the City.
In the most recent Speed Survey conducted earlier this year, it is
recommended that the established speed limits at three locations in
the City be changed. These recommended changes are summarized as
follows:
1. Saratoga Ave. from Fruitvale Ave. to Cox Ave.: Decrease the
posted speed limit from 45 mph to 40 mph. This recommendation is
made because of a decrease in the observed critical (85th %ile)
speed attributed to the new freeway interchange, the additional
traffic signals, and the increased traffic volumes along this
segment of road.
2. Quito Rd. from the southerly City limits to San Tomas Aquino
Creek south of Bicknell Rd.: Increase the posted speed limit from
25 mph to 30 mph. This recommendation is made because of an
increase in the observed critical speed attributed to the two new
widened bridges in this location, and a decrease in traffic volumes
on this segment of road.
3. Quito Rd. between Pollard Rd. and Allendale Ave.: Increase the
posted speed limit from 25 mph to 30 mph. This recommendation is
made because of an increase in the observed critical speed
attributed to a decrease in traffic volumes along this segment of
road.
As the City. Code (Articles 9 -50 and 9 -60) sets forth the prima -
facie speed limits for City streets, it is necessary to pass an
ordinance to establish new or change existing speed limits. The
attached Ordinance, if adopted, will make the three recommended
changes described above, and it is recommended that the Council
adopt the Ordinance as presented.
Fiscal Impacts•
Few, if any. If the Ordinance is adopted, it will ensure that the
City's speed zones can be enforced via radar which will prevent
tickets from being dismissed by the Traffic Court and thus not
resulting in any loss of revenues from traffic fines. The cost to
change existing speed signs is estimated to be $500.

Appendix A: Spot Speed Study Data
CONDUCTING THE RADAR SURVEYS
In the State of California, if a Public Agency is going to use
radar for enforcement of speed zones, they must conduct a radar
speed study on all regional streets once every five years to
facilitate enforcement. The theory behind this required proce-
dure is to insure that all speed zones are reasonable. Traffic
Data Service conducted City wide radar speed surveys during the
month of March in the year 1995 to comply with those regulations.
Exact locations were determined by the City. All surveys were
done in accordance with the State of California Traffic Manual
and the State of California Vehicle Code.
Radar surveys were made on selected street sections in which the
traffic speeds, the traffic volumes, the street width or other
significant factors were different from an adjacent section.
Thus, an important arterial may require speed surveys at several
locations to account for changes in these factors whereas a less
important street with consistency in these areas may be suffi-
ciently surveyed with just one check. Each of the 38 radar speed
surveys was made from an inconspicuously parked, unmarked vehicle
utilizing a TDS technician certified in the use of radar equip-
ment. An effort was made to insure that the presence of the
vehicle in no way affected the speed of the traffic being sur-
veyed. In order to obtain a significant sample, wherever possi-
ble, the speeds of at least 50 vehicles were recorded utilizing
accepted survey techniques. On lighter volume streets where the
50 vehicle sample could not be obtained, a time limit constraint
of 3 hours minimum was established.
ANALYSIS OF DATA
Calculated values include the 50th percentile speed, the 85th
percentile speed, the 10 mph pace speed, and the percent of
vehicles observed within the 10 mph pace speed. An explanation
of these terms follows.
The 50th percentile is the speed above and below which 50 percent
of the sample speeds lie. This is also known as the median or
middle speed. The 85th percentile speed is that speed at or
below which 85 percent of the observed vehicles are traveling.
It is a well recognized fact among traffic engineers that most
drivers are able to drive at reasonable speeds without the bene-
fit of any speed limits, speed signs, or enforcement. The behav-
ior of traffic is a good indication of the appropriate speed zone
which.should apply on a particular highway section. It is gener-
ally felt that at least 85 percent of the drivers operate at
speeds which are reasonable and prudent for the conditions per-
taining to each situation. Therefore, the 85th percentile speed
of'a spot speed survey is the primary indicator of a speed limit
which might.be imposed subject to the secondary factors of acci-
dent experience, traffic volumes, road features or other special
situations.
1
The pace is the 10 miles per hour increment of observed speeds
which contains the greatest number of vehicles. In nearly all
cases, the 85th percentile speed and the recommended speed lie
somewhere within the pace, frequently in the middle to upper
ranges. It is another indicator that traffic engineers use to
determine appropriate speed limits. The percent of vehicles in
the pace speed is an indication of the bunching of vehicular
speeds. Ideally, if all vehicles would be traveling at or about
the same speed, there would be a reduced likelihood of traffic
collisions. In speed limit analysis, the higher the percent of
vehicles within the pace speed the better the speed distribution.
The percent in the pace often is between 60 and 80. The percent
of vehicles over and under the pace speed is the group of vehi-
cles above or below the group within the 10 mph pace speed.
DRIVING THE STREETS
A final field check of great significance involves an experienced
TDS technician driving each street surveyed while "floating" with
prevailing traffic to determine the speed of traffic which is
reasonable from the driver's viewpoint. The driver evaluates the
appropriateness of the 85th percentile and adds the perspective
of human judgment to the speed limit setting process. Such
factors as roadside development, driveways, parked vehicles,
emergency shoulder areas, schools and playgrounds, areas fre-
quented by pedestrians, horizontal and vertical alignment of the
roadway, intersection visibility and control and numerous other
less tangible factors all go into the judgment, producing a final
recommended limit.
ACCIDENT REVIEW
Accidents are a factor of some importance in speed limit estab-
lishment. The location and severity of all reported traffic
accidents for the 2 year period of 1993 and 1994 were reviewed to
confirm. that the limit suggested by the radar survey is also
appropriate in light of accident history.
SPEED LIMIT RECOMMENDATION PHILOSOPHY
With all of the dry statistics inherent in the speed survey
process, there is a great deal of judgment required, and to a
certain extent a philosophy implied during the establishment of
speed limits. Speed limits should be reasonable and realistic
regardless of what the numbers indicate. Reasonable limits are
ones at which drivers would drive without enforcement and without
any signing. One cannot rely totally on this philosophy, howev-
er, as motorists tend to drive somewhat faster in residential
districts away from their homes than residents of the streets
would prefer. In other words, motorists tend to be more con-
cerned about speeds near their own homes and less concerned
2
elsewhere. This is-not so much a tendency to willfully break the
law or to drive unsafely but rather a reflection of human behav-
ior. For this reason, speed limits on two -lane local residential
streets tend to be somewhat further removed from the critical
85th percentile speed than those on multi -lane arterial and
collector streets.
General conditions aside, there are some very specific guidelines
established in the State of California Traffic Planning Manual to
assist the engineer in making recommendations for appropriate
speed zones, these include:
1) Unless there are conditions that the reasonable and prudent
driver would not be aware of the speed limit should be set within
5 mph plus or minus of the observed critical speed. If there are
conditions such as accident experience, roadway geometry, high
pedestrian volumes, asphalt surface, or limited visibility that
make a speed limit other than 5 mph within the critical speed
appropriate, the engineer should list those conditions.
2) The speed limit should be established the same for both direc-
tions at a given point on a roadway. Thus the lower of the two
critical speeds may be used to determine the overall segment
limit.
SPECIAL NOTES & RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are locations where the existing speed limit dif-
fers from the critical speed by more the 5 mph.
Allendale Ave. btwn. Chester and Quito (Critical) EB /WB =35,
(Pace) EB /WB =27 -36 Existing Limit =25
Recommendation: Retain existing 25 mph limit based upon roadway
alignment, limited shoulder width, and narrow bridge.
Herriman Ave. Btwn. Sar -S.V. Rd. and Beaumont (Critical) EB /WB =33
(Pace) EB WB =25 -34 Existing Limit =25
Recommendation: Retain existing 25 mph limit based upon proximity
to Saratoga High School and associated pedestrian and vehicle
volumes.
Prospect Rd. Vicinity of Maria Ln. (Critical) EB /WB =32 (Pace)
EB WB =24 -33 Existing Limit =25
Recommendation: Retain existing 25 mph limit based upon horizon-
tal and vertical roadway curvature.
The following are locations were the recommended speed limit differs
from the existing speed limit.
Quito Rd. btwn S'ly City Limits and Bicknell (Critical) NB /SB =34
(Pace) NB /SB =27 -36 Existing Limit =25
Recommendation: Raise existing 25 mph limit to a 30 mph limit
based upon observed critical speeds.
3
Quito Rd. btwn Pollard and Allendale (Critical) NB /SB =35 (Pace)
NB SB =28 -37 Existing Limit =25
Recommendation: Raise existing 25 mph limit to a 30 mph limit
based upon observed critical speeds.
Saratoga Ave. btwn Fruitvale and Dagmar (Critical) NB =46, SB =43
Pace NB= 38 -47, SB =34 -43 Existing Limit =45
Recommendation: Reduce existing 45 mph limit to a 40 mph limit
based upon observed critical speeds.
Saratoga Ave. ' btwn Vineyard and Cox (Critical) NB =41, SB =42
(Pace) NB= 32 -4, SB =33 -42 Existing Limit =45
Recommendation: Reduce existing 45 mph limit to a 40 mph limit
based upon observed critical speeds.
City accident records were reviewed for the years of 1993, 1994
and up to April 1995 to confirm all recommended speeds were
appropriate with the accident history of the roadway.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. G- &S AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 20, 1995 CITY MGR.:
ORIGINATING DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS DEPT. HEAD:
S-8(7
SUBJECT: Summary vacation of excess right -of -way along Fruitvale
Avenue
Recommended Motion(s):
Move to adopt the Resolution summarily vacating excess street
right -of -way along Fruitvale Avenue.
Report Summary:
The attached Resolution, if adopted, will summarily vacate excess
street right -of -way along Fruitvale Avenue adjacent to the rear of
the property located at 19495 Riesling Court. The owner of the
property, Mr. Ronald Cohn, is requesting the City abandon this
right -of -way so that he may extend his rear property line and fence
to align with those of the adjacent four lot subdivision to the
north off of Burgundy Way currently under construction.
Specifically, the City would declare approximately 24 feet of the
right -of -way along Fruitvale Avenue, or a total area of
approximately 5,630 square feet, as excess right -of -way which would
then revert back to Mr. Cohn's property. The City would retain
approximately 46 feet of the 70 feet of total right -of -way along
Fruitvale Avenue acquired in connection with the development of
Tract No. 5011 in 1975 of which Mr. Cohn's lot is a part.
In consideration for this vacation of right -of -way, Mr. Cohn will
continue the improvements to Fruitvale Avenue along his property
that are being installed by the owners of the Burgundy Way
development. These improvements consist of roadway widening to
accommodate a bicycle lane, and installation of a pedestrian path,
landscaping and drainage improvements. Further, Mr. Cohn agrees to
execute a landscape maintenance agreement to perpetuate the long
term maintenance and care of the landscaping and which would be
recorded against his property.
As staff believes that the benefits of the public improvements
proposed to be installed by Mr. Cohn more than outweigh the value
of the unusable, undeveloped street right -of -way, it is recommended
that the Council adopt the attached Resolution to effectuate the
above described arrangement between Mr. Cohn and the City.
Fiscal Impacts•
Staff estimates the value of the public improvements proposed to be
installed by Mr. Cohn at $25,000, not including the long term
landscape maintenance costs. Completion of these improvements will
also tend to decrease the City's street and storm drain maintenance
costs by an unknown amount. The improvement plans and legal
description attached to the Resolution were also both prepared by
Mr. Cohn at his expense.
Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact:
Nothing additional.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions:
The Resolution would not be adopted and the Fruitvale Avenue right -
of -way would remain 90 feet wide in this location, much wider than
staff anticipates will ever be needed for public street purposes.
Follow Up Actions:
The Resolution will be recorded upon completion of the improvements
by Mr. Cohn and execution of a Landscape Maintenance Agreement.
Attachments:
1. Resolution of summary vacation of excess right -of -way.
2. Letter from Mr. Cohn dated December 13.
3. Resolution No. 36 -B -15.
4. Portions of Map of Tract No. 5011.

Saratoga, CA 95070
Saratoga City Council
Saratoga, CA
Sirs:
I request approval of the City Council for a plan developed with the Saratoga Engineering
Dept. to beautify and make more functional the area between my property and Fruitvale
Avenue. This plan will also solve the ongoing problem we have experienced of our land
being flooded from the street run -off. As part of this plan my property line is to be
moved so as to be contiguous with the property line approved for my new neighbors. This
will allow for a straight fence line along Fruitvale. In return, I agree to pay for the road
expansion to include a bicycle lane and the construction of a new pedestrian path. I will
also be landscaping and maintaining the area consistent with the plan already approved for
the area from my property line to Burgundy Way.
I look forward to enhancing this area for both myself and the citizens of Saratoga.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Ronald S Cohn

Recommended Motion(s):
Deny a request made by Brenmore Cable Partners, L.P. to assign and

Report Summary:
The City of Saratoga received formal notification on August 31,
1995 from Brenmore Cable Partners, L.P. which holds and operates

franchise transfer requests within 120 days of receipt of a
complete transfer application. The deadline for the City of
Saratoga to act . on the proposed transfer request is December 28,

Staff has been analyzing the transfer documents provided by
Brenmore in order to determine TCI- Cleveland's legal, technical and
financial qualifications to assume responsibility for the City of
Saratoga's cable television. franchise. Staff has also sought
additional information from Brenmore seeking clarifications and
support documentation regarding the transfer documents submitted
to the City [Attachment II]. Following this, a response was
provided by Sherman & Howard, L.L.C. on behalf of Brenmore Cable
Partners, L.P. and TCI - Cleveland, Inc.
As of this date, staff continues to have concerns regarding
unresolved issues that leads us to recommend that the transfer
request be denied. The responses provided by Brenmore and TCI -
Cleveland in response to the City's first request for additional
information are either incomplete, unclear or nonresponsive. Some
of these include the following:
* We .continue to be uncomfortable about the legality of
Brenmore's transfer from Hernandez Communications, IncQ to
InterMedia Partners. In the response letter to the City of
Saratoga we learned that "the transfer of control from
Hernandez Communications, Inc. to InterMedia Partners has not
yet been consummated since the transfer request is still
pending before the City of Santa Clara. It continues to be
our belief that the effective date of the transfer was
September 23, 1993, (date of our signed transfer agreement
with Brenmore) and therefore that Brenmore is in violation of
Section 617(a) of the 1992 Cable Act, absent a waiver of the
applicability of the provision by the Federal Communications
Commission under Section 617(d).
* While Brenmore has filed FCC Form 394 with the City and
certified that it "will use its best efforts to comply with
the terms of the franchise and applicable state laws or local
ordinances and related regulations, and to effect changes, as
promptly as practicable, in the operation of the system, if
any changes are necessary to cure any violations thereof or
defaults thereunder presently in effect or ongoing," there has
been no certified indication that Brenmore will require TCI -
Cleveland, Inc. to unconditionally assume all the obligations,
(past, present and future) of the current cable franchise
which are stipulated in the City of Saratoga's cable
television ordinance and existing franchise agreement with
Brenmore.
* Staff is concerned about compliance issues outstanding with
other communities who have allocated more resources toward
investigations of such issues. For example, several South Bay
City franchising authorities have discovered that a high
percentage of their service drops have not been grounded and
are awaiting action to alleviate this problem at this time.
* Staff continues to have concerns that TCI- Cleveland will
apparently be a distant landlord for the Saratoga cable system
with the day -to -day management of the system being the
responsibility of TCI - California. TCI - Cleveland has not at
this time provided the City of Saratoga a guarantee of TCI -
California's performance as the manager of the Saratoga cable
system. We still desire to have notification that TCI -
Cleveland is certified to do business in California through
TCI- California prior to any transfer of ownership..
* Staff has not found any evidence that TCI - Cleveland will have
a contract between themselves and TCI - California relating to
the management of the Saratoga cable system. As a result,
TCI- Cleveland's ability to comply with the City's franchise
will depend entirely on TCI California's willingness to comply
with the City's franchise. We intend to request that TCI -
California be willing to sign a franchise agreement and
warrant that it would abide by and be bound by all of the
franchise's provisions.
Staff is seriously concerned about the undefined
relationship between TCI- Cleveland and TCI- California.
E
While TCI- Cleveland claims to be financially, technically
and legally qualified to be the City's cable franchisee,
it appears that TCI- Cleveland will not commit the people
or resources to this geographic area which would be
required to comply with its franchise obligations in the
City of Saratoga. Instead, its compliance appears to
depend entirely on the abilities of TCI - California, a
company which has not .provided the City with
documentation demonstrating either a willingness or an
ability to comply with the City's cable franchise. TCI -
Cleveland has not provided to us the adequate assurances
to address staff's concerns regarding TCI - California's
compliance with the City's cable television franchise and
how TCI - California will be held accountable for its
actions as the manager of the Saratoga cable franchise.
* We requested that TCI - Cleveland provide a listing of Board
members and their individual signatures that they have never
been convicted or held liable for acts involving moral
turpitude, and have never had a judgement in an action of
fraud, deceit or misrepresentation entered against it, her,
him or them by any court of competent jurisdiction. Instead,'
a Mr. Stephen M. Brett signed an "Officer's Certificate" on
behalf of all those directors, officers and other persons
currently having a legal or equitable interest in 25% or more
of the Company's voting stock.
* While the attorney for Brenmore and TCI - Cleveland
clarified that the financial reports that were provided
were in fact what is routinely prepared by the company,
and therefore in compliance with the requirements of the
Cable Act, staff believes that if the company is publicly
held, then they must need to file according to generally
accepted accounting principles. We believe that their
annual financial report to the shareholders likely looks
different that the reports routinely prepared for the
franchise authorities.
* Staff is still in the process of seeking information regarding
acts and omissions of Brenmore Cable Partners, L.P. Until the
investigation is complete, we cannot move ahead with the
transfer agreement.
* Staff is also interested in pursuing more detailed information
regarding how the transfer will impact the subscribers rates
and charges.
* We asked Brenmore to seek information about whether TCI -
Cleveland plans to conduct a cost -of- service or benchmark
system for rate setting and they responded that they have "not
prepared.any analysis of its proposed methodology with respect
to rate regulation matters." This is unacceptable.
* Finally, there are even more issues that have been discovered
by either the staff or legal consultant from other cities who
have contracts with Brenmore (Milpitas, Newark, Los Gatos,
3
Santa Clara County, Mountain View, Santa Clara) which cause
staff concern. It would be our interest to seek additional
information relating to the performance of the proposed
transferee in these jurisdictions as such performance may
reflect upon the probable performance of the transferee within
the City of Saratoga.
Again, given these vagaries and the need for further information
from both Brenmore and TCI- Cleveland, staff recommends that the
Council deny the transfer-of the cable franchise until such time
that these issues can be adequately resolved.
Fiscal Impacts•
There would be no direct fiscal impact from this recommendation.
Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact:
Posting of the agenda. Brenmore and TCI received copies of this
report.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions:
If the Council does not take action to deny, the transfer will be
assumed approved on December 28, 1995 and all the aforementioned
issues will be unresolved and unaddressed by the parties involved.
This would not be advised as that would establish a disadvantageous
beginning with the new assignee of the cable television transfer.
Follow Up Actions:
Staff will send a letter encompassing those issues referenced above
that remain outstanding.

CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
Mr. Harry Peacock
City Manager
City of Saratoga
13777 Fruitvale Ave.
Saratoga, CA 95070
Re: Transfer of Cable Television Franchise
Dear Mr. Peacock:
The purpose of this letter is to advise you that your local cable operator, Brenmor Cable
Partners, L.P. dba South Bay CableVision ( "Brenmor ") has entered into an agreement (the
"- - "Transaction ") for the transfer of the assets of the cable television system, including the franchise
to operate the cable system, serving the residents'of Saratoga to TCI of Cleveland, Inc. ("TCI -
Cleveland"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tele- Communications, Inc. ( "TCI "). The
cable system will be acquired by TCI - Cleveland for tax purposes and will be operated by TCI
Cablevision of California, Inc., pursuant to a management agreement.
As you may be aware, TCI is one of the major, multiple system cable operators within the
country and is a recognized leader in the cable television industry. TCI's owned and operated
systems include a wide variety of sizes and demographics. As one of the largest and fastest
growing cable operators in the San Francisco Bay Area, TCI is leading the charge into the next era
of advanced cable communications services. TCI is committed to continuing to provide quality cable
service to the residents of Saratoga.
As you may be aware, Section 617 of the 1992 Cable Act and Part J of the new FCC Cable
Television Service Rules (See 47 C.F.R. 76.502) relating to the sale and transfer of cable television
systems provides that a cable operator may not sell or otherwise transfer ownership in a cable system
unless it has been owned more than three years, or unless the transaction qualifies for an exemption or
waiver. Section 617 is commonly referred to as the "Anti- trafficking" rule. Under Section
76.502(i), cable operators seeking to transfer the ownership of a cable system after three years
must submit FCC Form 394 to the local franchising authority if franchise authority approval is
required by the terms of the franchise. In accordance with Section 76.502(d), this letter will serve
as Brenmor's certification that the Transaction will not violate the "Anti- trafficking" rule since
the System has been owned for over three years, since January 16, 1990.
Further, Section 617(c)(1) states that any assignment or transfer of control of a cable
system which is not subject to Federal income tax liability is exempt from the three -year holding
requirement. Brenmor hereby provides the additional certification that this Transaction is exempt
from the three year holding requirement because the Transaction is a tax exempt "like- kind"
exchange as that term is defined by Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, this
Transaction falls within Section 617(c)(1.) of the 1992 Cable Act and is exempt from the three -
year holding requirement.
As the Transaction may require your consent, we are requesting your prompt attention to
this matter and your consent thereto. The closing of the proposed Transaction is expected to
occur by December 31, 1995, or sooner if all required regulatory approvals have been obtained.
Bill Haggarty, General Manager of South Bay CableVision, will be in touch shortly to follow up
on this request and to request that the City set the transfer for consideration on the next. available
meeting date.
Enclosed herewith, please find an original and two copies of FCC Form 394, including all
exhibits required thereby. For your convenience, we have also enclosed the following documents
for your review and use: (a) a draft transfer resolution, and (b) a "guide" to the rules pertaining to
the transfer process. In addition, consistent with Section 4- 25.060(d)(4) of the City of Saratoga
Ordinance No. 71 -127 dated September 15, 1993, enclosed please find a check for five thousand
dollars ($5,000) representing the transfer fee.
Upon receipt of this transfer request documentation, including the FCC Form 394, Section
76.502 states that the City will be provided a maximum of 120 days from the date of this
submission to act upon this transfer request. Should the City choose not to act within 120 days,
the request shall be deemed granted unless the City and Brenmor agree that additional time is
appropriate.
Should you have any questions or comments, please call Bill Haggarty at (408) 467 -5107,
Bruce Stewart, General Counsel, at (415) 616 -4680, or Kristin Diamond, Counsel, at (415) 616-
4616. Please also feel free to call Valerie Castellana, TCI's representative in the Bay area, who
can be reached by telephone at (510) 988 -8611.
On behalf of Brenmor, TCI- Cleveland and TCI, we look forward to working
cooperatively with you to meet the FCC imposed deadlines, to address your questions during the
transfer process, and to insure a smooth transition to TCI. Thank you for your assistance and
cooperation.
Sincerely,

A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE
CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE TRANSFER PROCESS
(Applicable Federal Law & FCC Guidelines)
Federal Law:
AUG 3 1 1995
The Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Cable Communications Policy Act
of 1984 and the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, sets forth in
Section 617 (47 U.S.C. 537) the federal regulations pertaining to the sale and transfer of cable
systems.
The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 ("1992 Act ")
added Section 6I7 and established new requirements and procedures governing changes in the
ownership of cable television systems. The 1992 Act and implementing regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission ( "FCC "), specifically. Section 76.502 of the FCC's Cable
Television Service Rules (47 C.F.R. 76.502), state that a cable operator may not transfer
ownership in a cable system unless it has been owned for more than three years or unless the
transaction qualifies for an exemption or waiver. If franchise authority approval is required prior
to transfer of ownership by the terms of the prevailing franchise, the cable operator and the
V - franchising authority are required to follow specific guidelines as described in this guide from the
1992 Cable Act and the FCC's rules.
Specifically, the 1992 Act and the FCC rules:
(1) impose time limits on the transfer approval process;
(2) establish a new, three -year holding period for cable system ownership; and
(3) require cable companies to demonstrate compliance with the holding
requirement to the local franchise authority before an ownership change
occurs.
Background:
Before the 1992 Cable Act went into effect, franchise authorities were free to establish
their own procedures and requirements for cable ownership changes. In communities where
transfer approval is required, procedural issues such as the timetable, type of information
considered, or the need for public hearings normally are established by the local franchise..
(Page 2)
TRANSFER GUIDE
The Three -Year Holding Period:
• Although FCC cable regulations such as those governing rates and customer service apply
on a community -by- community basis, the three -year holding requirement applies system -
by- system.
• The operational unit that the FCC considers to be single cable "system" can serve a
number of different communities or result from the technical integration of several
formerly separate systems.
• The three -year holding period runs from initial construction (first date of service to
subscribers) or acquisition (closing date) of any portion of a "system. "
• In a community in which a cable operator has served subscribers for less than three years,
the holding requirement is met if that community is part of a larger system that the
operator has held for three years.
• A transfer of ownership in a cable system that does not affect the identity of the cable
— franchisee or the holder of a controlling interest in the cable system is not subject to the
three -year holding requirement.
• If an assignment or transfer of control involves multiple systems and the terms of the
transaction require the buyer to subsequently transfer or assign one or more such systems
to one or more third parties, such subsequent transfers shall be considered part of the
original transaction for purposes of measuring the three -year holding period.
• The FCC will grant waivers from the three -year holding requirement, consistent with the
public interest. The FCC will look favorably upon waiver requests involving multiple
system operators or transfers of multiple systems if at least two - thirds of the subscribers of
the systems being transferred are served by systems owned by the cable operator for three -
years or more. Further, conditioned upon receipt of local franchise authority transfer
approval, where such approval is required by the terms of the franchise agreement or
applicable state or local law, transfers of cable systems serving less than 1000 subscribers
are subject to a blanket FCC waiver.
A cable system operator's certification to the local franchise authority which contains a
description of the transaction and indicates that the cable system has been owned for three
years, or that the transferor has obtained or is seeking a waiver from the FCC, or that the
transaction is otherwise exempt creates a presumption that the proposed assignment or
transfer of the cable system will comply with the three -year holding requirement.
g:U egdWan sfer\sb- swap\genend4ramgde
(Page 3)
TRANSFER GUIDE
The following transactions are exempt from the three -year holding requirement: (1) Any
assignment or transfer of control of a cable system which is not subject.to Federal income
tax liability under the Federal Income Tax Code; (2) Any assignment or transfer of control
of a cable system required by operation of law or by any act, order or decree of any
Federal agency, any State or political subdivision thereof or any franchising authority; or
(3) Any assignment or transfer of control to one or more purchasers, assignees or
transferees controlled by, controlling, or under common control with, the seller, assignor
or transferor.
• A cable system operator seeking to assign or transfer ownership control of a cable system
after three years must submit a copy of FCC Form 394 to the local franchise authority if
franchise authority approval of the transfer is required by the terms of the franchise
agreement.
TRANSFER PROCEDURES
• When the franchise requires prior transfer approval, the parties 'involved in a proposed
- ownership change are required to provide a franchising authority with the following
information:
FCC Form 394: The information must be submitted on a FCC Form 394 which the
FCC designed especially for the transfer process. This form sets forth information and
includes supporting documents describing the transaction and demonstrating the new
owner's legal, financial, and technical qualifications.
Since FCC Form 394 is designed to provide local franchise authorities with all the
information reasonably needed to make an informed decision on the transfer approval,
the FCC's regulations do not require the parties to include any documents or
information with their initial filing other than those specifically enumerated in the form
or explicitly identified by the terms of the local franchise.
120 Day Time Limit for Local Approval: The 1992 Act provides a 120 day period for the
franchise authority to act upon the request for approval of the ownership change. The
terms of the franchise agreement may provide by its terms a shorter time period. If the
franchise agreement provides for a shorter period, such shorter period applies.
The 120 day time period runs from the date the cable operator submits FCC Form 394
to the franchise authority.
g:U egaAtraasfer\sb- swV\general\trm.gde
(Page 4)
TRANSFER GUIDE
• Under the FCC Regulations, franchise authorities are permitted to make reasonable
follow -up requests for clarification or additional, related information during the 120 day
period; however, such requests do not stop the running of the 120 day period.
Failure of a franchise authority to render a final decision within the 120 day period is
deemed to be an approval of the ownership change, unless the party requesting approval
and the franchise authority agree to an extension of time.
• The cable operator may appeal the local franchise authority's determination concerning the
three -year holding period to the FCC.

Brenmore Cable Partners, L.P.

Dear Mr. Hinderly:
This, letter is .being sent to you in response to your letter of
August 28, 1995 regarding the speculated cable television franchise
transfer between Brenmore Cable Partners, Inc. and TCI of
Cleveland, Inc. We.acknowledge receipt of your letter of intent
to transfer as well as receipt of FCC Form 394, including an asset
transfer agreement, and, receipt of a transfer fee check for $5, 000
(pursuant to City of Saratoga Ordinance No. 71 -127 Section 4-
25.060(d)(4)).
In recognition of FCC regulations permitting franchise authorities
to make reasonable follow -up requests for clarification or
additional, related information, we hereby are requesting further
information prior to final consideration of the franchise transfer.
Additionally, the City's Cable Communications Ordinance stipulates
that "Grantee ", here Brenmore, "shall agree to provide and all
information and documentation as may be reasonably requested by the
City in connection with its review of any proposed transfer:"
The issues needing clarification stem from our efforts involved in
analyzing the relationships and obligations between the City and
Brenmore Cable Partners as defined in the following documents:
1. City of Saratoga Ordinance No. 71 -127 known as the City of
Saratoga's Cable Communications Ordinance and effective

5. "Resolution Approving the Transfer and Assignment by Brenmore
Cable Partners, L.P. to TCI of Cleveland, Inc. of the
Franchise to Operate a Cable Television System in the City of
Saratoga, California," proposed and submitted to the City
August 31, 1995.
Filing of FCC Form 394 and Section 617 of 1992 Cable Act:
You have stated in your letter of August 28, 1995 that said letter
serves "as Brenmore's certification that the Transaction will not
violate the "Anti- trafficking" rule" (Section 617 of the 1992
Cable Act and Part J of the new FCC Cable Television Service Rules,
47 C.F.R. 7 6.5 02) ... "since the System has been owned for over three
years, since January 16, 1990." We would like to know if Brenmore
is claiming three year's ownership based on the provision that "In
a community in which a cable operator has served subscribers for
less than three years,- the holding requirement is met if that
community is part of a larger system that the operator has held for
three years." In other words, does the fact that, as stated in the
Franchise Agreement of September 30, 1993, "South Bay has operated
and continues to operate a cable communications system in the City
pursuant to a franchise awarded to Hearst Cablevision and assigned
to Brenmore Cable Partners, L.P. on December 21, 1989, which
assignment was accepted by South Bay" mean that South Bay has in
fact been the owner for over three years? The discrepancy of the
two dates made it unclear to us if this applied, and, we want to be
certain as to the basis for the claim of the three - years'
ownership.
FCC Form 394:
Assuming that Brenmore is in fact then exempt from the three -year
holding requirement, we turn now to questions and concerns arising
from the FCC Form 394 itself.-
Part I
Section I- General Information:
No concerns, however, acknowledgement of Brenmore's legal
agreements with the City noted as items 1 -3 above would be
preferable to the City of Saratoga.
Section Ii- Transferor /Assignor:
Item 2.(b): In exhibit 3, Brenmore comments on its negative
City of Saratoga
Page 3
response to whether the asset exchange agreement
referenced in item 2.(a) embodied the full and
complete agreement between the transferor /assignor
and the transferee/ assignee. FCC form instructions
in item 2. (a) allow for redaction of confidential
trade, business, pricing or marketing information,
or other information not otherwise publicly
available.
Question: Can Brenmore submit a categorization of the
information that has been redacted? What legal
recourse does any public entity have that
safeguards us from the withholding of allowable
information and in what code, rules or regulations
is that articulated for our review and analysis?
Part II: Transferee /Assignee:
Item i and Item 3 and Exhibit #7: We have a general query, and
that is that TCI Cleveland is out of Tennessee, headquartered out
of Englewood Colorado and managed out of Walnut Creek, California:
what certification does TCI Cleveland have that it can provide to
us that states it is legally qualified to do business in
California? It is stated in Exhibit 17 that "Transferee /Assignee
will qualify to transact business in.the State of California prior
to the closing of the transaction that is the subject of this
application." What is the process for that qualification, will the
City be notified and when specifically is this set to occur? The
City of Saratoga would require in its transfer agreement, the same
condition regarding this issue as it had in the transfer with
Brenmore and Hernandez: that TCI is duly organized; validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of California, and,
has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
carry out the transactions contemplated hereby."
Item 2: Brenmore states that at this time it does not have any
plans to "change the service and operations of the system as a
consequence of this transaction. However, the Managing Entity may,
after it has an opportunity to familiarize itself with the-system's
operations, determine that such changes are desirable or
necessary." This statement does not provide the City of Saratoga
with the assurance that "such changes" will proceed as outlined in
the current franchise agreement with the franchising authority
(City) dated September 30, 1993. In what document will this issue
be covered and articulated by TCI?
section I. Transferee /Assignee's Legal Qualifications:
Item 2: Listing of persons, officers, directors, stockholders etc.
holding more than 5% of the outstanding voting shares, general
City of Saratoga
Page 4
partners and limited partners holding an equity interest of more
than 5 %, etc. The City of Saratoga, in its Transfer Agreement
with Brenmore stipulates the following conditions in Section B. (1)
pages 2 and 3 which we would also request of TCI at this time with
respect to the officers and others listed on page 4 of FCC Form 394
"Director Information ":
Section B. (1) In seeking the CITY's consent to any change in,
transfer of, or acquisition by any other party or control of
GRANTEE, the GRANTEE shall have the responsibility:
(1) To show to the satisfaction of the CITY whether the
proposed purchaser, transferee, or assignee ('the proposed
transferee "), which in the case of a corporation, shall
include all officers, directors, and all persons having a
legal or equitable interest of twenty -five percent or more of
its voting stock. And, in the case of a partnership shall
include all general partners and any limited partners holding

(a) has ever been convicted or held liable for acts
involving moral turpitude;
(b) has ever had a judgement in an action for fraud,
deceit or misrepresentation entered against it, her, him
or them by any court of competent jurisdiction;
(c) has pending any legal claim, lawsuit or
administrative proceeding arising our of or involving a
cable system.
Section III - Transferee's /Assignee's Financial Qualifications:
Item #2: Item requests that transferee/ assignee attache as an
Exhibit the most recent financial statements, prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, etc. In
Exhibit No. 9 on the page following the cover and titled
"INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ", paragraph 3 it is stated: "The
accompanying special - purpose consolidated financial statements were
prepared ... and are not intended to be a presentation in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles." We would like to
understand how these two items compare in your assessment as it
leads us to believe that there is discontinuity in the data that is
being provided.
Section v: Certifications
Part 11- Transferee /Assignee (c) : In this section, transferee 18 to
"use its best efforts to, comply with the terms of the franchide and
applicable state laws or local ordinances and related regulations,
City of Saratoga
Page 5
and to effect changes, as promptly as practicable, in the operation
of the system, if any changes are necessary to cure any violations
thereof or defaults thereunder presently in effect or ongoing." We
interpret this to mean adherence to the ordinances and agreements
stated above, including but not limited to items 1 - 3. In
addition, the specific provisions in the City's Cable
Communications Ordinance Section 4- 25.060 "Limitations of
Franchise" (d) Transfer outlines the parameters of ahy transfer in
which the City is involved.
Part I- Transferor /Assignor: classification box. "Other. Explain:"
Signator for the Transferor /Assignor is Leo Hinderly who signs as
"Attorney -in -Fact for Hernandez Communications, Inc., the General
Partner of Brenmore Cable Partners, L.P." If Hernandez is a 21%
shareholder in Brenmore, why is Mr. Hinderly signing for Brenmore
as Attorney -in -Fact? Wasn't Hernandez out at the end of 1993?
Proposed Resolution Approving the Transfer
We are uncertain as to whether we will use the majority of the
language of the proposed resolution prepared by Brenmore for the
transfer. We would outline the parameters of our needs in the
context of the transfer agreement we will submit to you and that
would be the place where we would prefer to address some of the
issues contained on pages 2 and 3 of the proposed resolution. The
following are our concerns with the existing language of the
proposed resolution.
1. Section 3 of the resolution ought not conflict with the
parameters of the City's Ordinance No. 71 -127, Cable
Communications Ordinance, Section 4- 25.060 Limitations of
Franchise.
2. Section 4: City would prefer if, rather than "Subsequent to"
the Closing, that the language stipulate "Within 30 days of"
the Closing. Acceptance of the provisions should not be
subsequent to closing and should be prior to the adoption of
the resolution. The Franchisee should agree to abide by all
conditions of the Franchise, Ordinance, and prior Transfer
Agreements and we need certification that all prior
requirements have been met in a timely fashion. Finally, the
words "and municipal" be inserted between the words "state"
and "law at the end of the paragraph for reiteration.
3. Section 5:
* Provision (a) should be deleted as it is unnecessary.
* Provision (b) should be amended to say that the Fran`shise
expires on October 1, 2008.
c'
City of Saratoga
Pago 6
* Provision (c) should be amended to add the following
words at the end of the sentence: "...upon the date of
closing."
* Provision (d) should be amended to say "TCI- Cleveland is
responsible for acts or omissions of Franchisee up to and
including the date of the Closing."
* Provision (e) the language needs to reflect all prior
agreements with the City, that is, the Franchise
Agreement of September 30, 1993, the Ordinance 71 -127 of
September 15, 1993 and the CATV Franchise Transfer
Agreement of September 23, 1993.
* Provision (f) should begin with "Except for the agreement
for late charges as outlined in the letter dated October
31, 1994 from William Haggarty regarding billing
practices," as this agreement is substantive between
South Bay and the City of Saratoga (see attached copy of
referenced letter).
Other Issues:
One final issue for us at this time involves whether or not TCI
intends to use a cost -of- service showing or the benchmark
justification for rates? What is it that TCI is intending to do?
We would like to know about this in advance.
Thank you for your consideration of these issues. We look forward
to your responses to these items.

RESPONSES TO THE CITY OF SARATOGA'S
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Filing of Form 394 and Section 617 of the Cable Act.
Brenmor Cable Partners, L.P. d/b /a South Bay Cablevision ( "Brenmor ") has operated the
Saratoga cable system since January 16, 1990, pursuant to the CATV Franchise Assumption
Agreement dated December 21, 1989 ( "Assumption Agreement ") between the City of Saratoga and
Brenmor in which Brenmor assumed the obligations of the franchise from Hearst Cablevision. The
January 16, 1990 date referenced in Brenmor's letter to the City was the closing date of the
transaction between Hearst Cablevision and Brenmor. The Assumption Agreement acknowledged
that the franchise was due to expire on September 3, 1992. In 1993, the City of Saratoga renewed
Brenmor's franchise pursuant to the Franchise Agreement dated September 30, 1993.
As presently structured, the sole general partner of Brenmor is Hernandez Communications,
Inc. ( "HCI "), and InterMedia Partners ( "IP "), a California limited partnership, is the sole limited
partner. In a February 12, 1993 letter to Harry Peacock from David Rozzelle, a former general
partner of IP, the City was informed that IP agreed to purchase HCI's interest in Brenmor. Pursuant
to the CATV Transfer Agreement dated September 12, 1993, the City granted its consent to the
transfer of control of Brenmor from HCI to IP. However, this transfer of control from HCI to IP has
not been consummated. A prerequisite to closing the HCl/IP transaction is the consent to the transfer
from all of the affected franchising authorities. Brenmor sought and received the required consents
from seven of the eight franchising authorities, namely, Newark, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Mountain
View, Los Gatos, Saratoga and County of Santa Clara. The City of Santa Clara, however, has not
yet consented to the transfer. The City of Santa Clara, which is currently in franchise renewal
negotiations with Brenmor, has indicated that it wishes to consider the proposed transfer from HCI
to IP, and the subsequent assignment from IP to a subsidiary of Tele- Communications, Inc. ( "TCI "),
on a consolidated basis.
In sum, Brenmor has continuously owned and operated the Saratoga cable system well over
three years, since January 16, 1990. No transfer of control or assignment of the franchise has
occurred for more than three years.
Part I, Section H - Transferor /Assignor:
Item-20): The redactions made to the Asset Exchange Agreement ( "Agreement ") between
Brenmor and TCI relate largely to proprietary information regarding price adjustments which are
typical in any like -kind exchange transaction, sensitive subscriber penetration information, and rebuild
budgets for Brenmor and TCI. The City has correctly noted that FCC Form 394 itself provides the
requisite legal authority for redaction of such material. In addition, 18 U.S.C. § 1001 requires that
all statements made to a government entity be truthful, and the FCC Form 394 requires both the
Transferor and Transferee to certify under penalty of perjury that the Form is complete and accurate.
Form 394 also specifically references 18 U.S.C. § 1001. Therefore, the City may be assured that the
redacted information falls within the scope of proprietary information which the FCC has determined
may be redacted.
Part II: Transferee /Assignee:
Item 1 and Item 3 and Exhibit #7: TCI of Cleveland, Inc. ( "TCI - Cleveland ") will qualify to
do business in California by filing the required certificate for a foreign corporation to transact business
in California immediately prior to the closing of the proposed exchange transaction with Brenmor
Cable Partners, L.P. ( "Brenmor "). There is no legal impediment to TCI - Cleveland's qualification to
transact business in California. It is simply a matter of filing the appropriate certificate and paying
the requisite filing fee with the California Secretary of State. At the present time, TCI - Cleveland has
no need to incur the expense associated with qualifying to do business in California because TCI -
Cleveland does not conduct business in California. TCI - Cleveland would be willing to notify the City
of Saratoga when it has qualified to transact business in California. TCI - Cleveland has no objection
to confirming to the City of Saratoga as of the time of the closing of the proposed exchange
transaction with Brenmor in a transfer agreement with the City that TCI - Cleveland is "duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation and is duly qualified
to transact business in the State of California, and has the power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby."
Item 2: TCI - Cleveland has certified to the City of Saratoga in the FCC Form 394 filed with
the City (Section V, Part II(c)) that it "will use its best efforts to comply with the terms of the
franchise and applicable state laws or local ordinances and related regulations, and to effect changes,
as promptly as practicable, in the operation of the system, if any changes are necessary to cure any
violations thereof or defaults thereunder presently in effect or ongoing."
Section I. Transferee /Assignee's Legal Oualifications:
Item 2: Please see the certificate attached as TCI - Cleveland Exhibit 1.
Section M. Transferee /Assignee's Financial Oualifications:
Item 2: This item requests that the transfereelassignee attach to FCC Form 394 the most
recent financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
including a balance sheet and income statement for at least one full year, for the transferee/assignee
or parent entity that has been prepared in the ordinary course of business, if any such financial
statements are routinely_ prepared. Transfereelassignee submitted as Exhibit 9 to FCC Form 394 the
audited consolidated financial statements for its indirect parent, TCI Communications, Inc. and its
"Restricted Subsidiaries," which includes TCI Holdings, Inc., the direct parent company of
transferee / assignee. The audited financial statements for TCI Communications, Inc. that are routinely
prepared are prepared for the purpose of complying with, and on the basis of accounting practices
specified in, certain debt instruments and credit facility agreements. The accounting practices
specified in such debt instruments and credit facility agreements differ from generally accepted
-2-
accounting principles as described in note 1 to the financial statements in that they require that certain
subsidiaries of TCI Communications, Inc. are designated as "restricted" subsidiaries and others are
designated as "unrestricted" subsidiaries and that the restricted and unrestricted groups be accounted
for as unrelated parties. Accordingly, transactions between the restricted group and the unrestricted
group have not been eliminated and certain majority -owned subsidiaries are not consolidated as
would be required under generally accepted accounting principles. As noted in the auditors' report
accompanying the financial statements, however, such financial statements "present fairly, in all
material respects, the assets and liabilities of TCI Communications, Inc. and Restricted Subsidiaries
as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and their revenue and expenses, and their cash flows for the years
then ended, on the basis of accounting described in note V as explained above.
Section V: Certifications:
Part I - Transferor /Assignor: The City asks why Leo J. Hindery, Jr. has signed the Form 394
as "Attorney -in- Fact" for Hernandez Communications, Inc. Please be advised that Ray Hernandez
has granted Mr. Hindery a revocable power of attorney which authorizes Mr. Hindery to sign certain
documents on Mr. Hernandez's behalf including, but not limited to, the FCC Form 394 submitted to
the City of Saratoga. The purpose of the revocable power of attorney is to expedite the processing
of day -to -day operating matters. As noted above, the transfer of control from HCI to IP has not yet
been consummated since the transfer request is still pending before the City of Santa Clara.
Part II - Transferee/Assignee (c): TCI -Cleveland has certified in this portion of the FCC Form
394 to the City of Saratoga that it will comply with all relevant franchise agreements and ordinances.
Proposed Resolution Approving the Transfer.
TCI - Cleveland would like to have some flexibility to make intercompany transfers in
connection with internal restructurings that may be desirable for purposes of operational
efficiencies. As mentioned in the FCC Form 394, the proposed transaction involves the
transfer of the franchise to TCI - Cleveland for tax reasons. In the future when tax
considerations no longer require that TCI- Cleveland continue to hold the franchise, it may be
desirable to transfer the cable operations, including the franchise, to another TCI entity more
directly involved in cable operations in California, for example TCI Cablevision of California,
Inc. If it would be preferable to the City of Saratoga, the language of Section 3 of the
resolution could be limited to transfers to any wholly owned subsidiary of TCI
Communications, Inc., rather than the broader "controlled affiliate" language included in the
proposed resolution that was submitted originally. This would provide TCI - Cleveland with
the flexibility it needs to accomplish desirable intercompany restructurings and the City of
Saratoga should in no way be prejudiced by any intercompany transfer of the franchise by
TCI - Cleveland to another wholly owned subsidiary of TCI Communications, Inc.
2. TCI - Cleveland does not object to the language changes to Section 4 of the resolution
proposed by the City of Saratoga. With respect to certification that all prior requirements
-3-
have been met in a timely fashion, the City will need to discuss the form and content of such
a certification with Brenmor.
TCI- Cleveland's comments on the changes to Section 5 of the resolution proposed by the City
of Saratoga are as follows:
Provision (a): Is there some problem with confirming that the franchise was properly
granted?
Provision (b): The proposed change is acceptable to TCI - Cleveland.
Provision (c): This provision was intended to confirm that Brenmor currently is the
recognized holder of the franchise. TCI - Cleveland does not object to the change proposed
by the City of Saratoga, but if that change is made, provision (c) also should be revised to
change "Franchisee" to "TCI- Cleveland."
Provision (d): TCI - Cleveland needs to know whether there are acts or omissions of Brenmor
of which the City of Saratoga is aware. The City has not proposed to change provision (g)
of Section 5 of the resolution. If there are no known material non - compliance issues, this
change should not pose a problem for TCI - Cleveland.
Provision (e): The proposed change is acceptable to TCI - Cleveland.
Provision (fl: The proposed change is acceptable to TCI - Cleveland.
Other Issues
TCI Cleveland has not prepared any analysis of its proposed methodology with respect to rate
regulation matters. All rates established by TCI - Cleveland will be consistent with applicable FCC
regulations.

CITY MGR.:
DEPT. HEAL
SUBJECT: Establishment of various parking restrictions
Recommended Motion(s):
Move to adopt the Motor Vehicle Resolution establishing various
parking restrictions.
Report Summary:
Attached is a Motor Vehicle Resolution which, if adopted, will
formally establish parking restrictions at two locations.
The first location is along the north side of Fourth Street
downhill from Big Basin Way. Previously there was a yellow
(loading) zone at this location, however the loading zone is no
longer used. It is necessary to restrict parking in this location
because of the narrowness of the street.
The second location is along the east side of Paseo Presada between
Cox Ave. and Bucknall Rd. across from El Quito Park. The Council
approved the elimination of parking at this location at your
previous meeting.
Adoption of the Motor Vehicle Resolution is necessary to
successfully enforce the parking restrictions at both locations.
Fiscal Impacts•
Roughly $300 for installation of the appropriate signage and curb
markings. There may also be a small increase in traffic fine
collections over time as parking citations are issued.
Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact:
Nothing additional.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions:
There Resolution would not be adopted and there would be no formal
authorization for imposition of the parking restrictions.
Eventually, parking citations, if challenged, would be dismissed by
the Traffic Court.
Follow Up Actions:
None. The signs and curb markings have already been installed at
both locations.

No. 924 - Final Acceptance and Notice of Completion
Recommended Motion(s):

record the Notice of Completion for the construction contract.
Report Summary:
All work on the Saratoga- Sunnyvale Road Improvements (Capital
Project No. 924) has been completed by the City's contractor, B &B
Concrete Construction, and inspected by Public Works staff. The
final construction cost for the project was $434,128.33, which is
11.3% above the awarded contract amount of $390,210. The increased
costs were primarily due to 1) additional concrete quantities
required for the retaining walls along the west side of the road
between Brookwood Ln. and Marion Rd., 2) unanticipated traffic
signal modifications at Reid Ln., and 3) unanticipated concrete
removal from several of the.median island areas.
In order to close out the construction contract and begin the one
year maintenance /warranty period, it is recommended that the
Council accept the project as complete. Further, it is recommended
that the Council authorize staff to record the attached Notice of
Completion for the construction contract so that the requisite 30
day Stop Notice period for the filing of claims by subcontractors
or material providers may commence.
Fiscal Impacts•
The ten percent retention funds will be released 30 days after
recordation of the Notice of Completion assuming no Stop Notices
are filed with the City.
14
Follow Up Actions:
Staff will record the Notice of Completion for the construction
contract and release the contract sureties and retention 30 days
thereafter.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions:
The project would not be accepted as complete and staff would
notify the contractor of any additional work required by the City
Council before the project would be accepted as complete.
